43 million people in the world are blind, and 90% of them live where access to eye care is difficult or impossible. These people often live in loneliness and exclusion. Cure Blindness Project is a global nonprofit organization driven to help people retain or regain their sight. To make that happen, we enable underserved communities to cure avoidable blindness by developing high-quality, cost-effective, sustainable eye care wherever they are. For 17 million blind people, sight could be cured with a 10-minute cataract surgery. For the millions suffering from corneal blindness, early intervention means their condition can be treated and not progress to blindness. At Cure Blindness Project, we believe avoidable blindness can – and must – be overcome. For nearly 30 years, we have worked alongside a capable network of collaborators to provide more than 1.6 million sight-restoring surgeries and screenings to more than 16.5 million people. We’ve trained more than 20,100 eye health professionals, and established 5 eye hospitals. What started in the Himalayas has now reached 30 countries. Cure Blindness Project is striving for a summit where sight is in reach. There is more work left to do, but we can overcome the mountain of global blindness.
