About Unite For Sight
Unite For Sight's unwavering commitment to creating real, lasting impact involves three types of programs.
- Chapters in North America: University student volunteers provide vision screenings and education programs in local community centers such as at soup kitchens and homeless shelters. Those screened are matched with free health coverage programs so that they can receive a complete eye exam by an eye doctor.
- International Eye Care Outreach Programs: The goal of Unite For Sight and its partner eye clinics and communities is to create eye disease-free communities. Unite For Sight's volunteers (local and visiting) work with partner eye clinics to provide eye care in communities without previous access. The eye clinic's eye doctors and Unite For Sight volunteers jointly provide community-based screening programs in rural villages. Unite For Sight sponsors all of the eye care programs, including providing patients with free surgery so that no patient remains blind due to lack of funds.
- Global Health Conference: The conference annually convenes more than 2,200 participants from all 50 states and from more than 55 countries. The goal of the conference is to exchange ideas and best practices across disciplines in order to improve public health and international development.
