Help restore sight to someone in need.

SEE provides free sight-restoring surgeries and essential eyecare to people who would otherwise not have access to these services. With our expert volunteer doctors and your donation, we can create a visibly brighter future.

We work every day to help people SEE again.

Your gift goes twice as far!

The SEE International Board of Directors has stepped forward to pledge the largest matching gift challenge in our organization’s history—$75,000.

That means every dollar you give will be doubled up to $75k, allowing us to reach even more people with critical, life-changing eyecare.

Your gift will go twice as far when you donate now. Make a difference today!

How SEE Changes Lives

We bring medical volunteers and partners together to care for the people who need it most. Our teams work side-by-side with local doctors and clinics to improve access to high-quality eyecare and surgery.

Together, we break the cycle of hardship that preventable blindness causes, making patients, families, and communities healthier and stronger.
