Cure Blindness Project

43 million people in the world are blind—yet 80% of this burden is treatable or preventable.

90% of them live where access to eye care is difficult or impossible. These people often live in loneliness and exclusion. 

Cure Blindness Project is a global nonprofit organization driven to help people retain or regain their sight. To make that happen, we enable underserved communities to cure avoidable blindness by developing high-quality, cost-effective, sustainable eye care wherever they are. 

For 17 million blind people, sight could be cured with a 10-minute cataract surgery. 

For the millions suffering from corneal blindness, early intervention means their condition can be treated and not progress to blindness. 

Cure Blindness Project is striving for a summit where sight is in reach. There is more work left to do, but we can overcome the mountain of global blindness.
