Operation Sight
Operation Sight, the Foundation's U.S.-based
charitable cataract surgery program, serves
financially vulnerable, uninsured Americans who
cannot afford or access care. Operation Sight has
delivered 7,000+ surgeries through a nationwide
network of 700+ volunteer surgeons committed
to caring for patients in need.
International Humanitarian
Eyecare and Education
The ASCRS Foundation seeks to address individual cases
of cataract blindness at the root cause: the shortage of
eye surgeons in the developing world. The solution
is two-fold: to create world-class medical centers where
efficient doctors can establish a presence, like the Sinskey
Eye Institute, and to focus on education—raising the local
standards for both patient care and physician training.
