  Operation Eyesight Universal is a Canada-based international development organization dedicated to eliminating avoidable blindness.

  Since our work began in 1963, we have brought sight-saving treatment to more than 35 million people. Today our work is focused on India and the African countries of Ghana, Kenya and Zambia – places where blindness can be deadly, especially to those who are very young, old or poor.
