Events, World Sight Day, Pints for Sight | Combat Blindness International

World Sight Day 2022

Thank you for making our World Sight Day event so successful! We raised over $124,000, including $50,000 in matching funds. ALL proceeds will go to fund free cataract operations, screen children for glasses and eye disease, and support scholarships for young women to become ophthalmic technicians and Aadya Screeners.

Combat Blindness International Events generate funds for CBI programs that reduce preventable blindness.

"The people we are providing sight to today - that becomes a generational gift. The gift is fed down through their grandchildren's children, on and on, and it provides an amazing benefit."
