Our Work: What We Do

Seva's Vision

A world free of avoidable blindness.

Restoring sight is one of the most cost-effective interventions to reduce poverty. With clear vision, those you help can return to work and school and live more fulfilled lives.

Seva works in over 20 countries to increase the capacity of local hospitals, and develop sustainable eye care programs.

Building Sustainable Eye Care Worldwide

Seva builds sustainable eye care systems worldwide by creating equitable access to eye care, building capacity of new and existing eye hospitals and systems, and collecting and learning from evidence. Since 1978, Seva has empowered underserved communities and provided eye care services to more than 50 million people around the world.

Seva's Drivers for Success

icon

Vision Centers are local permanent establishments that can address up to 80% of all eye care needs. They make basic eye care accessible to a community, no matter how remote, while also spreading awareness and serving as the foundation of a larger global referral network.

icon

Training and Jobs Creation expands access to eye care by scaling up the training and use of ophthalmic support staff and developing sustainable programs which create jobs for local women and men and stimulate the economy in their communities.

icon

Eye Care for Children focuses on providing kids with comprehensive pediatric eye care. Awareness building and eye screening services are embedded into schools and communities, developing referral networks so that children get the care they need to thrive.

icon

Technology is utilized and developed throughout our programs to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of outreach initiatives, vision screenings, hospital flow, complex surgical procedures, and to multiply the efforts of in-demand eye care specialists around the world.

Staying Focused

icon

Surgery

Low cost, high-quality surgeries cure blindness for people like Wendy. Over 50% of blindness is caused by cataracts which can be cured by a 15-minute surgery costing as little as $50.

icon

Glasses

Eye care changes lives like Molly's immediately. A pair of glasses brings a world of opportunities into focus: students can read and learn and adults can work and care for their families.

icon

Medical Treatment

Access to eye care makes a world of difference. Connecting people like Ama in remote communities with the medicine and treatment can prevent blindness before it happens.

You Are the Eyes of the World

Seva works in over 20 countries including with Native Americans in the United States.
