What an inspiring two days in Nepal! Visiting our incredible partners at Nepal Netra Jyoti Sangh (NNJS) on 14th April and witnessing eye care in action on 15th April reminded us exactly why this work matters. From reflecting on 40 years of shared impact and meaningful discussions on gender-responsive eye care, to observing ROP screenings, witnessing the power of women-led care at Pathari Eye Care Center, and meeting young Jyoti whose life was transformed by cataract surgery, every moment reaffirmed the strength of this partnership. We are deeply grateful to the entire NNJS team for their warmth, dedication, and unwavering commitment to eye health in Nepal.

As Orbis India marks 25 years, this journey reflects a shared commitment, alongside partner institutions, to strengthen eye care systems, expand access, and build capacity where it is needed most.

From advancing child eye health and community-based care to strengthening training ecosystems, this work has been shaped by collaboration and a focus on long-term impact.

Looking ahead to Vision 2030, the focus is not only on scaling what works, but also on future-proofing eye care — rethinking approaches to make them more inclusive, resilient, and responsive to emerging challenges, including the changing climate.

As conversations around “The Green Lens: Rethinking Eye Care for the Changing Climate” continue to shape this direction, Orbis remains committed to advancing sustainable, climate-conscious solutions in global eye health.

The work continues, with a shared goal: ensuring quality eye care for everyone, everywhere.
