Cure Blindness Project is working for a world where no one is needless blind. We enable countries to cure avoidable blindness by developing high-quality, cost-effective eye care in underserved areas of the world.
The World Health Organization estimates that 180 million people suffer from severe visual impairment (legally blind, by U.S. standards). The leading cause of blindness throughout the world is cataracts and 90% of this blindness is found in the developing world.
Cure Blindness Project enables countries to cure avoidable blindness by developing high-quality, cost-effective eye care in underserved areas of the world.
The suffering caused by blindness deeply affects the family of each unfortunate, blinded individual, especially in remote regions of developing countries. With restored sight, many people return to work and to traditional roles in their families and societies.
