Eye Care Everywhere
Orbis believes nobody should be blind from avoidable causes, and we want everybody, everywhere, to be able to get eye treatment when they need it, regardless of who they are or where they live. So help Orbis prevent avoidable blindness and protect the sight of some of the world’s most vulnerable people.
Orbis Global Mission and Vison
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.
