Eye care during COVID-19
We have adapted our local, national, and international programs so we can continue providing transformative eyecare with safety regulations in place.
Help us save someone's sight
The World Health Organization predicts the number of blind people worldwide will triple to 108 million by 2050 – mostly in areas where resources for high-quality eye care are scarce.
Over 75% of blindness cases are preventable or treatable with basic care and low-cost surgery.
Your support over the last 45 years has helped SEE make a difference in the world
Why sight matters
Preventable blindness creates unnecessary hardships for thousands of people worldwide, including enormous financial burdens as their inability to see disallows them from working to support their families or themselves. People with vision impairments also experience higher rates of violence and abuse, and their family members are more likely to experience anxiety or depression.
Where we work
Our volunteer teams travel around the world and throughout the U.S. to provide critical eyecare and train other doctors to do the same, creating more sustainable eyecare systems across the globe.
