Hosted by Dr. Hunter Cherwek SIGHTLINES talks to others in the eye health community about the future of eye health and the impact of COVID-19 on the fight against avoidable blindness.
We are an international non-profit bringing people together to fight avoidable blindness. With our network of partners we mentor, train and inspire local teams to save sight in their own communities.
Four million people in Ethiopia are blind or visually impaired. 1.7 million people suffer from cataracts. 1.2 million people suffer from trachoma. With only 130 ophthalmologists in the country, there is a severe shortage of eye health professionals. Orbis is working hard to save sight in Ethiopia.
