Cybersight - Telemedicine

Cybersight is a digital extension of our mission. It increases our ability to provide training and support with our local partners. With Cybersight, we can make an impact in places where a physical presence simply isn't possible due to cost, logistics, or security.

Our expert volunteers provide on-demand advice for complex cases, mentoring local eye care professionals on diagnosis and treatment of their patients. We help combat geographic isolation with easy access to an expert second opinion.

We also make sure that everyone benefits from our training activities on board the Flying Eye Hospital, wherever it is in the world. We broadcast live lectures and surgeries to partner hospitals and classrooms around the globe. Remote participants enjoy a similar experience as those in the onboard classroom: they see surgeries through the operating microscope and can ask questions of expert surgeons and lecturers in real time.

Cybersight is also a living library of our collective training efforts, freely available to all eye health professionals including current and future generations of nurses, optometrists, anesthesiologists and ophthalmologists.

Thanks to Cybersight, we're now training more people in more places than ever before. The Cybersight community had grown to more than 84,000 registered eye health professionals from nearly every country and region in the world by the end of June 2023. More than 119,000 eye health professionals have attended 600+ webinars with users enrolling in more than a quarter of a million courses.

And this is just the beginning - with your support we can launch new innovations and improve access to eye care around the world.
