About Sightsavers
Our vision is of a world where no one is blind from avoidable causes, and where people with disabilities participate equally in society.
Protecting sight
We prevent sight loss and avoidable blindness in some of the poorest parts of the world by treating conditions such as cataracts and fighting debilitating eye diseases.

Working locally
We work with governments around the world to tackle the problems at the root of avoidable blindness, and we work with local communities to support people who need it most.
