Surgeons, doctors, business leaders and volunteers working against global blindness.
Canadian Eyesight Global, formerly Canadian Eyesight International, is a registered Canadian charitable organization made up of surgeons, doctors, business leaders and many volunteers concerned about global blindness. We are individual Canadians who care about people in India and other developing nations who are especially vulnerable to blindness, and about those who have already lost their sight.
Blindness has many causes, including nutrition, sanitation and trauma, so there are many ways to help. Eighty percent of the world’s blindness can be prevented with nutrition, sanitation, antibiotics or surgery. By working with other health organizations and with governments, we believe preventable blindness can be eliminated.
Our objective is to help people who cannot help themselves, and to give people who are blind or visually impaired real support. For over twenty years we have worked with partner doctors in India and other developing countries to improve their facilities and treatment programs.
