We help people regain & retain sight

Cure Blindness Foundation India [formerly known as "SightLife India"] works to cure avoidable blindness by developing high-quality, cost-effective eye care in underserved areas of India. This restores not only sight, but the chance for a better life for anyone who suffers from avoidable blindness, their families and friends and the whole community.


By training and equipping local medical experts to cure again and again within their own communities, we build a sustainable source of care that can help prevent needless blindness for generations to come.


How We Work


Local Capacity 

We provide training for clinical and non-clinical personnel, which helps expand access to quality eye care. Having always-accessible local care makes all the difference in patient outcomes.


Infrastructure & Equipment

We ensure that trained personnel have the appropriate tools to apply their skills–and ultimately, give patients the best possible eye care.


Patient Care

We support our partners as they provide direct service to patients. We also expand partnerships to make sure our patients have access to care for many different eye diseases.


Prevention

We provide training for community health workers so that they can provide comprehensive eye care at the primary care level. This helps catch and treat eye diseases at earlier stages.
