Data That Drives Change

Our Volunteer Faculty remain at the heart of Orbis’s work, generously giving their time and expertise to train local eye care teams:

  • 170 Volunteer Faculty shared their skills in-person, virtually, in local hospitals, and through our telemedicine platform, Cybersight
  • 60 Volunteer Faculty participated in the Flying Eye Hospital, Hospital-Based Trainings, and virtual programs
  • 130 Volunteer Faculty conducted patient consults and training sessions on Cybersight, expanding our reach across the globe

Thanks to this spirit of knowledge sharing, eye care teams in partner countries are better equipped to deliver quality care for generations to come.

None of this would be possible without the dedication of Orbis’s Monitoring & Evaluation team. Their meticulous work collecting and analyzing data ensures we continually improve our programs and target resources where they’ll have the greatest impact.

Every training, every screening, and every surgery tells a story of hope and independence—and every one of these moments was made possible by people like you.

Together, we’re building stronger eye care systems, empowering local teams, and giving millions of people the chance to see a brighter future.

Thank you for being part of this journey.
