Unite For Sight® is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that empowers communities worldwide to improve eye health and eliminate preventable blindness.

Unite For Sight's unwavering commitment to creating a real, lasting impact involves four types of innovative programs: chapters in North America, Global Impact Corps in North America, international eye care outreach programs, and an annual global health conference. Unite For Sight has trained 5,200 volunteers who work in their local communities and abroad to provide eye health programs for those without previous access and has provided eye care services to more than 600,000 people worldwide.

We apply best practices in eye care, public health, and volunteerism to achieve our goal of high quality eye care for all.
