Dave Berg's Company Details
Millions of people go blind each year, and millions more suffer from poor vision, simply because they cannot access the kind of care many of us take for granted. It is estimated that more than 253 million people in the world are blind or visually impaired, but a staggering 80% of those people suffer from conditions that are treatable, curable or preventable.Orbis is an international non-profit organization that brings people together to fight avoidable blindness and restore vision. We strengthen and improve eye health systems by partnering with local hospitals, public health agencies, NGOs and governments. With our network of partners, we mentor, train and inspire local teams so they can save sight in their communities, and transform lives through the prevention and treatment of blindness. Using our unique tools – over 400 expert volunteers, our Flying Eye Hospital and our online telemedicine tool, Cybersight – we equip developing nations with the skills, resources and knowledge to deliver quality eye care to their communities.
