World Sight Day Details

What: Follow a patient, Aamna, through her eye care journey at CBI’s partner hospital, Dr. Shroff’s Charity Eye Hospital, and learn about our impact this year.

Donations will be matched up to $50,000 to support our Cataract, Pediatric and Certified Ophthalmic Paramedic Programs, as well as our new Aadya Initiative. For pennies, a child can have their eyes examined and receive free glasses.

When: Thursday, October 13, 2022 6:30-7:15 p.m. CDT

Where: Watch it live on this landing page, and on CBI’s Facebook page.

For only $25, a 20-minute cataract surgery can help someone see again within 24 hours. And for $500, a young woman can be empowered by ophthalmic technical training. When you give to Combat Blindness International, you’re transforming lives.
