About Orbis

About

We are an international NGO that brings people together to fight avoidable blindness. With our network of partners we mentor, train and inspire local teams to fight blindness in their own communities. We believe that no one should live a life of unnecessary blindness, simply because of where they were born.

2018 was a year of many firsts - we conducted our first simulation training on board the Flying Eye Hospital, premiered educational films and books, had our first live consultation on Cybersight and held our inaugural mass Blindfold Luncheon in Singapore. Thank you for making all these happen.
