8 to 10 Million People Supported

From one person to millions.

Thanks to supporters like you, Operation Eyesight has now completed 204 community eye health projects, creating sustainable eye care systems that reach an estimated 8 to 10 million people.

Behind every number is a story: a child learning in school, a parent supporting their family, a senior maintaining independence and communities building healthier futures.

Together, we're helping millions of people access quality eye health care close to home. Thank you for making this possible.

Lasting change starts with strong local eye health systems.

Rather than providing short-term solutions, we work with local partners to build sustainable eye care services that continue serving communities for years to come. Together, we screen people for vision problems, provide treatment, strengthen local capacity and raise awareness so families can get care sooner.

In 2025 alone, Operation Eyesight and our partners screened more than 1.79 million people and provided treatment to more than 640,000 people.

Vision loss is more than a health issue. It can keep children out of school, limit opportunities to work and reduce independence.

Far too many people lack access to quality eye care when they need it most. Without timely screening and treatment, avoidable vision loss can affect entire families and communities.

That is why Operation Eyesight works to remove barriers to eye health care, helping people access services closer to home and before vision problems become life-changing.

Learn how we address this need in our 2025 Annual Report. https://operationeyesight.com/annual-reports/annual-report-2025/

Because of you, lives are changing.

Every child who can see the board at school. Every parent who can return to work. Every senior who can once again recognize the faces of loved ones. These stories are possible because of supporters like you.

Our 2025 Annual Report highlights the impact of sustainable eye health care and the communities whose futures are brighter because they can access quality care close to home. Thank you for helping more people see clearly, live fully and look to the future with hope.

👁️📋 How do you eliminate avoidable blindness?

You start by understanding who needs help, where gaps exist and why people aren't accessing eye care.

That's why Operation Eyesight has launched the Rapid Assessment of Visual Impairment (RAVI) Study in Pushprajgarh Block, Madhya Pradesh.

Over the next two months, trained teams will conduct eye screenings and surveys with approximately 3,700 to 4,000 adults aged 40 and older across 80 communities. The study will help identify the causes of vision loss, barriers to care and opportunities to improve eye health services.

For the first time, this region will have reliable, scientifically validated eye health data to guide future planning and investment.

Together with our partners, we're building a future where every person can access the eye care they need.

🎉 A landmark achievement for eye health in Northeast India: Miao-Khagam Block in Changlang District, Arunachal Pradesh has been officially declared Cataract Blindness Backlog-Free (CBBF), a major public health milestone and the first such achievement in the state.

This means all identified cataract blindness backlog cases in the block have been treated, helping restore sight, dignity, livelihoods and independence while strengthening community eye health systems.

Led by the National Health Mission – Arunachal Pradesh, NPCB&VI – Arunachal Pradesh, the Changlang District Health Society and the District Administration, this achievement reflects the power of government-led action, strong community outreach and committed frontline health workers.

Operation Eyesight was honoured to support this mission through health system strengthening, community mobilization, household-level validation and data verification, capacity building and documentation for the formal CBBF declaration.

Congratulations to Dr. Taba Khanna, State Programme Officer, NPCB&VI – Arunachal Pradesh, and to the medical officers, ophthalmic teams, ASHAs, ASHA facilitators and field staff whose dedication made this possible.

Most importantly, congratulations to the people of Miao-Khagam Block, for whom sight is no longer a barrier. 🌟

When women lead, communities see the difference.

In Kenya, women trained as community health promoters are helping neighbours access life-changing eye care close to home.

One woman, after having her own sight restored through cataract surgery, began helping other women in her village get the treatment they needed. Mothers whose children regained their sight shared gifts of gratitude, trust and hope.

Together with local health systems and community leaders, we're building a future where quality eye care is within reach for everyone.

This summer, many children are spending their days learning, playing, and exploring the world around them.

For Pawan, a simple eye exam changed what that future could look like.

When vision problems go untreated, children can struggle in school and miss opportunities to reach their full potential. Through community-based eye care, children like Pawan can access the treatment they need to learn, grow, and thrive.

Every child deserves the chance to see a brighter future.

🌻 One garden. One roadside stand. A lasting legacy.

Every spring, Gerda Armstrong set up a small flower stand by the roadside to raise money for Operation Eyesight. What began with bouquets and kindness became something much bigger: helping children learn, adults keep working and families move forward with brighter futures through access to eye health care. Gerda believed in showing up, giving what she could and inviting others to do the same.

Her story reminds us that generosity doesn't have to be grand to change lives. Sometimes it begins in a garden, at a roadside stand or with one simple decision to help.

This summer, we're inspired by the ripple effect of her kindness.
