The Cure Blindness Project, formerly known as the Himalayan Cataract Project, is dedicated to fighting preventable blindness in underserved parts of the world. The organization works in 30 countries in Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and South America, providing screenings and surgeries to those in need. The organization recently underwent a name change to better reflect its expanded mission of curing all avoidable blindness. Through training, quality care, and comprehensive services, the organization aims to impact 3 million people through screenings and 600,000 surgeries. The Global Partners Program allows ophthalmologists in the U.S. to get involved and contribute to the cause.
