organization, and volunteers prescribe eyeglasses, screen for eye
disease and coordinate and fund diagnosis, treatment, and surgery by
doctors. Volunteers also implement Train the Trainer programs for
teachers and educate children and adults about eye health and ways to
prevent blindness.
All persons over the age of 18 are welcome to apply for these volunteer
opportunities, including undergraduate students, optometry and medical
