Combat Blindness Foundation
A Solution in Sight for 25 Years
The Combat Blindness Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to alleviating avoidable blindness in the developing world. Partnering with local hospitals and institutes, we serve the most vulnerable sectors of society.
Combat Blindness Foundation currently works to:
- Prevent blindness and restore sight due to cataracts and other emerging eye diseases in India, Kenya, South Africa, Gambia, Paraguay and the Phillipines.
- Screen and treat children between the ages of 0-5 suffering from malnutrition and Vitamin A deficiency in India.
- Create vision centers and community surgical centers in rural areas of India in order to provide equitable, quality eye care to the rural poor in a sustainable manner
- Support training programs for local vision technicians and paramedical personnel in order for them to serve their own community.
Our work is made possible by the generosity of friends, foundations, corporations and volunteers.
