Cataract Awareness Month is just around the corner—but you can take action now.
Did you know that cataracts are the leading cause of blindness worldwide? While many people associate them with aging, cataracts can affect anyone, including children. In fact, around 40,000 children are born each year with cataracts, often due to infections during pregnancy, genetic conditions, or other complications.
Despite being easily treatable—with 3.7 million cataract surgeries performed each year in the United States alone, millions around the world still lose their sight simply because they can’t access safe, affordable surgery.
When you give today, you’re not just making a donation—you're building lasting solutions. Your support helps train local doctors to provide expert eye care for children, including life-changing surgeries like cataract removal. With the right skills and tools, these doctors can diagnose and treat a range of vision issues, giving more children the chance to see clearly. Your gift can help more children and parents around the world get the cataract surgery and eye care they urgently need. Together, we can create a brighter, more beautiful future for everyone, at any age.
Thank you for being a vital part of this movement to end preventable vision loss.
