Description: ESI is providing hope and vision to the curable Corneal Blind in Lower and Middle Income Countries (LMIC).
Eyesight International provides hope and vision to the curable corneal blind in lower- and middle-income countries.
ESI is the only charity in the world that focuses exclusively on corneal transplantation and eye banking. Our achievements are unique.
More than 12.5 million people are needlessly corneal blind. More than 1.5 million, including 350,000 infants, become corneal blind every year, with profound impacts on caregivers as well as the blind. Over 95% live in lower- and middle-income countries. Corneal transplants can cure 80% of them. ESI provides a way.
