Every patient we treat. Every resident we train. Every system we strengthen.

Restoring sight is just the beginning

At Eye Corps, every patient served, every surgery performed, and every resident trained contributes to something bigger: a path to an eye care system that is built to last.
Our impact isn’t just measured in numbers. It’s seen in lives transformed. Parents return to work. Children return to school. Doctors return home to serve their communities. We’re building something permanent, and we’re doing it together.
Every outreach includes hands-on training. Every clinic supports local leadership.
And every donor, like you, becomes part of the solution.

Martina

“I was blind and couldn’t care for my grandchildren.”
After cataract surgery, Martina regained her sight and could watch her grandchildren. Her daughter returned to work. But Martina didn’t stop there: she opened a small shop to help support her family. One surgery restored the vision of three generations.
