Many talented and compassionate people are involved in helping to give the people of underserved populations the gift of sight. We are all working to fight curable and avoidable blindness around the globe. Through programs such as the Flying Eye Hospital and Prevent Blindness Tennessee, we can offer not just corneas recovered by SDS Eye Bank, but also skills-exchange opportunities to a wide range of eye health care professionals while focusing on the development of pediatric ophthalmology, an area of great need in disadvantaged countries.
