How Orbis is Bringing the World Together to Fight Blindness

Imagine the world around you in darkness. For millions of people this darkness is a reality. Blindness takes away so much more than vision. It can impede your ability to gain an education. It can prevent you from finding employment. It can lead you and your family into a life of poverty.

Orbis is working toward solving this problem by providing access to quality eye care in the developing world. Providing access to eye care is one of the most effective and cost-efficient paths for reversing the cycle of poverty. Preventing and treating visual impairment gives people their independence back. It allows them to become more active in their community and to contribute more to their family and their society.
