A world in which no person is needlessly blind or vision impaired.
There are still 1.35 billion people with vision loss — most of which is treatable and preventable.
Restoring sight - Millions of people around the world are blind simply because they can't access eye care. Many of our Pacific neighbours are suffering this exact fate. We're known for providing cost-effective treatments for sight loss caused by cataract and diabetes eye disease.
Training and supporting doctors and nurses - Fred knew that training just one eye doctor could have a huge impact; because they could go on to train hundreds more. That’s why we train a range of eye health specialists in the Pacific.
Strengthening health systems - Delivering eye care can't be done in isolation. We work with many organisations within the health care sector to strengthen local eye care systems.
Driving research and innovation - Like Fred, we're a practical bunch. We use evidence-based approaches in our programme, and we don’t shy away from doing something differently if it will get a better result.
Kiwi eye surgeon Fred Hollows dedicated his life to restoring sight to the needlessly blind. He was determined to end avoidable blindness, as are we.
