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.

SEE International is a non-profit humanitarian organization that seeks to provide eyecare services to anyone in need of them, regardless of their background or ability to pay.

Invest in the global economy through sight restoration!

Eye health interventions deliver exceptional value with a $28 return per dollar invested—significantly outperforming other important health interventions.

That means every dollar you donate delivers impact that reaches far beyond a single patient or procedure.

Witness the incredible impact of sight restoration

At SEE International, we witness firsthand how restoring sight has a ripple effect that transforms
entire communities. Creating that kind of lasting impact requires strong collaboration.
