We are a charitable organization on a mission to eliminate avoidable blindness and visual impairment across India. Through free and subsidized cataract surgeries, refractive error corrections, and comprehensive eye screenings, we deliver equitable eye health services to those most in need. Our partnership of associate hospitals, community outreach camps, and vision care programs bridges the gap between underserved populations and timely, quality ophthalmic care, because no one should lose their sight to a condition that is preventable or treatable.
