ORBIS International, a nonprofit humanitarian organization, strives to eliminate avoidable blindness and restore sight in developing countries. ORBIS has permanent offices dedicated to preventing blindness in Africa, blindness in China, blindness in India, blindness in Bangladesh and blindness in Vietnam. ORBIS also conducts regional work on blindness prevention in Latin America and the Caribbean. ORBIS sponsors short-term, hospital-based projects in developing countries around the world and delivers ophthalmic training and patient care through its one-of-a-kind Flying Eye Hospital.

The challenge for ORBIS is to ensure that the skills and technology required for blindness prevention and sight restoration are available in those countries most in need. Ninety percent of the world's blind live in developing countries, where barriers such as poverty and poor infrastructure hinder the development of adequate eye care facilities. ORBIS works closely with local communities, governments and hospitals to design programs that increase local skills, improve health care facilities and foster awareness of eye health in developing countries.

Unite For Sight® is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that empowers communities worldwide to improve eye health and eliminate preventable blindness. Local and visiting volunteers work with partner eye clinics to provide eye care in communities without previous access, with the goal of creating eye disease-free communities. Additionally, vision screening and education programs are implemented worldwide by volunteers working in ninety chapters established at Universities in North America, Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Preventing and treating blindness has been found by the World Health Organization to be one of the most cost effective health care strategies. Restoring a person's sight can enable her/him to hold a job and contribute to feeding and housing a family. It can enable a person to fully participate in society and enjoy seeing the world around them.
