Restoring sight changes lives.
Globally, 43 million people are blind—80% of which is treatable or preventable. 17 million people are blind due to untreated cataracts alone, a condition that can be cured with a ten-minute surgery that costs only $70.
There are millions in the world who needlessly suffer from corneal blindness, which is the scarring of the cornea caused by a wide variety of diseases. In many cases, corneal blindness is preventable or treatable. For the 12.7 million people waiting for a corneal transplant, only one cornea is available for every 70 needed.
Restoring sight aids in helping break the cycle of poverty and lessens social exclusion.
Cure Blindness Project has grown beyond the Himalayas to tackle needless blindness in 30 countries in South Asia, sub-Saharan Africa and South America
