Why Eastern Nigeria?

A serious need in communities with limited access.

Cataract remains a major cause of blindness, while poverty, limited rural eye-care access and specialist shortages leave many people untreated.

Limited access to eye care
2
Shortage of eye-care professionals
3
High disease burden and poverty
