You can help

Currently more than 37 million people are blind, yet 28 million don't have to be. The ORBIS Flying Eye Hospital brings much needed ophthalmic training to developing countries around the world. Through this training, local doctors can begin treating people who would otherwise be blind for life. To keep the Flying Eye Hospital flying, please give generously. Your support means everything to those less fortunate.
