Worldwide, 2.2 billion people have a visual impairment, but almost half of this is preventable or treatable.

Sightsavers works in more than 30 countries to treat eye conditions such as cataracts and debilitating eye diseases. We want everybody to be able to get eye treatment when they need it, regardless of who they are or where they live.

Since our work began in 1950, we’ve helped to carry out 11.8 million sight-saving operations and screened more than 216 million people for eye conditions.

But to continue our vital work, we need your support.

As an eye health professional, you have a unique insight into the challenges of saving sight. By partnering with Sightsavers, you can make a difference, one operation, examination and treatment at a time.
