Defeating Blindness in our Local and Global Communities
There are more than 36 million blind people worldwide, the vast majority of whom live in developing countries. Most of this blindness is completely avoidable. The Ohio State University Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences has established a tradition of providing sight-restoring eye care for hundreds of people in Ghana, Nicaragua, Peru, Ethiopia, Haiti and India.
We are expanding our vision and hope you will join us in support of the Global Outreach Project–a sustainable outreach and education program to restore sight and change lives in the developing world. Become a global visionary and help bring eye care to those who need it most.
