Since the expansion of the war, the importance of eye care and ophthalmology in Ukraine has grown. It is estimated that 20% of all military casualties experience some form of vision loss. This statistic, paired with the historical need for ophthalmology, means that the need for eye care services in Ukraine has skyrocketed.
Welcome to Eye Care For Ukraine. In order to reduce eye disease and preventable blindness, we seek to increase early detection and treatment of eye disease.
We provide donated equipment and supplies to partners who, in turn, provide affordable, discounted and/or free ophthalmic services.
We seek opportunities to increase training and research for young physicians. Training is a two-way street, one in which Ukrainian physicians learn new skills while sharing their techniques and skills with other physicians around the world.
We seek partners with whom we may together offer new services and opportunities to reduce vision loss and blindness for those in Ukraine. We support programs which seek to improve quality of care and recovery, reduce cost and/or improve access to care.
