Ongoing programs:
Operation Eyesight is an international development organization dedicated to eliminating avoidable blindness in vulnerable communities in South Asia and Africa. Our country offices are located in India, Ghana, Kenya, and Zambia. We also have programs in Nepal, Bangladesh, Liberia, and Ethiopia that are being managed by our India, Ghana, and Kenya teams respectively. Operation Eyesight addresses the root causes of avoidable blindness and advocates for the integration of eye care into primary health care systems. Our model of Hospital-Based Community Eye Health empowers communities to take ownership over their health care needs, strengthens the capacity of local partners, and uses evidence-based practice models of service delivery to inform the development of sustainable eye health systems and put eye health onto health policy agendas. We work in partnership with local governments, medical professionals, and community development teams, building essential resources that give all people, including the poorest, access to the help they need. We’ve developed an innovative model of hospital-based community eye care that ensures sustainable service for entire communities.
