Orbis International

Community-based eye care is one of Orbis’s top priorities in the country.

Research from Orbis International analyzes the overall wellbeing of children with common childhood vision problems.

REACH operates with three objectives: 1) eliminate barriers to eye health for school children; 2) improve the quality of school eye health services; and 3) create a positive, sustainable environment at schools where eye health services are provided, ensuring children feel comfortable to access these services.

The treatment of vision problems can help improve the quality of life for many people in the city.

After a brief hiatus during the pandemic, Orbis' Flying Eye Hospital program returns.

Studies conducted with Orbis International conclude positive mental health and academic improvements of children provided appropriate eye care and glasses, filling important research gaps and providing essential guidance for future interventions and research.

The nonprofit has continually reached for new heights in the fight against avoidable blindness.

Ahead of World Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTD) Day on Jan. 30, Alemayehu Sisay, MD, MPH, country director for Orbis Ethiopia, discusses efforts and progress the organization has made in treating patients with NTDs and how to get involved in recognizing World NTD Day.

Research also highlights the top factors that lead to care, which can be used to improve parents' uptake of sight-saving surgery for their children.
