When a compassionate community of supporters joins forces with a dedicated team to eliminate preventable blindness, the results are extraordinary. Thanks to your unwavering support, tens of thousands of people regained their sight – bringing hope, possibilities, and brighter futures to communities worldwide.
Here are just a few highlights from 2024 that you made possible:
7.3 million people received eye care – the most in our 46-year history.
41 Vision Centers launched, providing clarity to nearly 6 million people.
5,500 healthcare heroes trained, from doctors and ophthalmic staff to community health promoters.
Published a groundbreaking study in the Bulletin of the World Health Organization, showing that every $1 invested in eye health brings $36 in societal benefits – a win-win!
Meanwhile, we soared above icy Alaskan landscapes to care for Native children, partnered with Minnesota schools to reach Tribal communities and introduced cutting-edge technology – like our portable retinal camera, Pristine 5.0 – to restore vision in even the most remote areas.
We couldn’t do this without you. Thank you for believing in our shared vision and championing our cause. Join us in celebrating these milestones by reading our 2024 Impact Report – then help us make an even bigger difference in 2025. Let’s keep this incredible momentum going!
