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.
