Globally, 2.2 billion people have a visual impairment, but almost half of this can be prevented or treated.

Sightsavers works in more than 30 countries to treat eye conditions such as cataracts, prevent blinding diseases and advocate for the rights of people with blindness and other disabilities.

Since our work began in 1950, we’ve helped to carry out more than 10 million sight-saving eye operations, distributed more than 1.3 billion disease treatments and given out nearly 4.8 million pairs of spectacles.

But we need your support to ensure everyone can get the help they need.
