Operation Eyesight Universal is delighted to announce that we have been Certified by Peek Vision in software user training. – Peek Vision is a global social enterprise whose software and data intelligence platform powers eye health programs to strengthen systems and service delivery. Since 2016, we have been working with Peek to implement eye health programs in Kenya through partnerships with CBM Christian Blind Mission, the OneSight EssilorLuxottica Foundation, Seeing is Believing and the former United States Agency for International Development’s (USAID) Child Blindness Program, in collaboration with local county governments.
Members of our Kenya team participated in the Certification, which consisted of rigorous training and assessment by Peek team members over several days. They successfully passed the Certification, which enables them to independently manage Peek-powered programs and train others to use its smartphone-based eye health screening and data capture tools with confidence.
“Peek has become an invaluable tool in our programs by providing real-time data monitoring and analysis, which enhances our ability to respond quickly and effectively to emerging needs,” says Patrick Muthii, our MIS Officer in Kenya. “With accurate, up-to-date information at our fingertips, we make informed, data-driven decisions that strengthen program implementation, improve service delivery and ultimately ensure better outcomes for the communities we serve.”
Peek, which now works with eye health organizations across the world to address the global vision crisis, has been collaborating with us since its early days. With support from Operation Eyesight and local government partners, Peek first developed and tested its software and data intelligence platform in Trans Nzoia County, Kenya, laying the groundwork for its international rollout. Our partnership in Kenya continued with school eye health programs in Uasin Gishu County and expanded to community initiatives in Kajiado County under the CBM-led Vision Impact Project.
Today, Operation Eyesight remains a valued partner, using Peek’s platform in community eye health programs across three counties: Kajiado, Kisii and Nyamira. The collaboration also extends to research, with joint efforts alongside other partners to explore the availability and economic impact of reading glasses.

Ottawa, Canada – November 7, 2024 – Operation Eyesight Universal is delighted to celebrate the passage, on November 7, of the National Strategy for Eye Care Act, Bill C-284. We congratulate the Hon. MP Judy A. Sgro and the Hon. Senator Mohamed-Iqbal Ravalia for their tireless work in successfully bringing this important legislation to pass. (Find the announcement press release here).
By signing this important piece of legislation, the Canadian government has established itself as a global leader by prioritizing eye health care as an integral part of universal health care, while also achieving many of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In Canada, health care is a right. This Bill now makes eye health care a right as well. The passage of Bill C-284 gives hope to the one in five Canadians suffering from a condition that puts them at risk of blindness (eight million people) and the 1.2 million Canadians living with vision loss, figures which come from the 2023 Report Card on Vision Health in Canada, released by Fighting Blindness Canada and the Canadian Council of the Blind. The report states that every year, our national economic burden from vision loss is 32.9 billion dollars. The passage of Bill C-284 is about far more than sight – it is about education for children, employment for adults and independence for seniors.
Kashinath Bhoosnurmath, President and CEO of Operation Eyesight Universal, says, “Today, Canadians have achieved the right to sight, as our universal health care will incorporate eye health care for all, with the passing of Bill C-284, the National Strategy for Eye Care Act, into law. Eye health care too is a priority now in Canada. This impacts us all. The law will support the many Canadians who have eye conditions they do not know they have. It will also shine a light into the lives of the millions of Canadians who struggle not only with their vision but also with accessing the eye health care they need—across every part of Canada. This inclusive bill signifies that eye health care must be available, accessible and affordable, and it will support child development and learning, adult employment and productivity and senior connection and independence. We are delighted that Canada has the vision to step forward as a national and international leader. We can all see the benefits ahead.”
The importance of this legislation cannot be overstated. Universal eye health care is proactive, preventative and supportive. It includes regular eye exams, early detection of eye conditions, treatment and ongoing supports. For some, treatment can be as simple as getting a pair of prescription eyeglasses which can be transformative – recent research found that students who don’t get the eyeglasses they need learn half as much as students with good or corrected vision, according to the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness. This research also stated that when vision is corrected in school it can influence lifelong earnings by up to 78 per cent. This example shows that eye health care impacts not only individuals but also local and global economies. Eye health contributes to several of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which have been set to build a more peaceful and prosperous world. These include good health and well-being, quality education and poverty reduction.
For decades, Operation Eyesight has brought inclusive eye health care to communities and regions in countries in Africa and South Asia. We do this by partnering with national, regional, and local governments and leaders, including the ministries of health and education. We act as a bridge between communities, connecting every child, woman and man to local eye health care.
In Alberta, we have been piloting eye health care programs by working with medically underserved communities. We are building relationships with and listening to communities to understand their unique needs, cultures, lived experiences and lifestyles (rural, urban and more), while growing our capacity to support this work in a good way. We know that inclusive eye health care works when people are aware of its importance, it is available and accessible when and where people need it – close to home, school or work – and it is open to all regardless of ability to pay.
We welcome the opportunity to collaborate with governments, organizations and community leaders in Canada to inform this new national eye care strategy. We look forward to contributing our voice to advocate for it to be inclusive so that it is accessible, affordable and available to all. We will continue to raise awareness of the importance of eye health and the need for eye health care in Canada. Together, let us take a long view of our collective right to sight.

About Operation Eyesight Universal operationeyesight.com
Operation Eyesight Universal is an international development organization and registered charity working to prevent blindness and restore sight. Our vision is the elimination of avoidable vision loss. Founded in Calgary, Alberta, Canada in 1963, we are now a global community spanning four continents – Africa, Europe, North America and South Asia. Our vision is global and our focus is local, with teams on the ground in communities of work. Through activities like community outreach, water and sanitation projects, and health education, we at Operation Eyesight are addressing the root causes of avoidable vision loss which contribute to six United Nations Sustainable Development Goals: no poverty, good health and well-being, quality education, gender equality, clean water and sanitation, and partnerships for the goals.
Calgary, Canada October 12, 2023 – Today on World Sight Day, Operation Eyesight is reminding everybody, everywhere to love their eyes and prioritize their eye health.
This year, Operation Eyesight teams worldwide are joining the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness and the global eye health community in focusing on the world’s workforce, reminding everyone of the importance of loving their eyes at work.
“Healthy eyes mean people can work, care for their families, support themselves and contribute to the economy. That’s why eye health at work is more important than ever,” says Kashinath Bhoosnurmath, Operation Eyesight’s President and CEO. “World Sight Day 2023 is extra special for Operation Eyesight, as we are also celebrating 60 years of preventing blindness and restoring sight.”
With the support of donors and partners globally, over the past six decades Operation Eyesight has transformed the lives of millions of children, women and men worldwide, by bringing sustainable eye health care to communities that need it most.
Unaddressed visual impairment continues to have a serious impact on workplace productivity, and a third of workers worldwide have uncorrected vision that could be improved. Additionally, people are working differently, including at home, and are also working longer hours.
Operation Eyesight is challenging everyone to consider the health of their eyes and to book their annual eye exam. Staff and employers can also visit operationeyesight.com/worldsightday for tips and resources on keeping eye health in focus in the workplace.
“Across sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, our teams are marking World Sight Day with screening events at various workplaces, as well as celebrations with government and hospital partners,” says Dr. Ritu Ghosh, Operation Eyesight’s Global Director, International Programmes.
“We know that almost everyone on the planet will experience an eye health issue in their lifetime, but more than a billion people do not have access to eye care services to correct, treat or prevent vision loss. That’s why World Sight Day is such an important annual event.”

Odisha, India, October 3, 2023 – More people living in northwest Odisha and surrounding areas will have access to comprehensive eye health screening, prescription eyeglasses and specialist referral, thanks to the opening of two new vision centres, established by Operation Eyesight Universal in partnership with Trilochan Netralaya and Mahanadi Netralaya Chiktsalaya – Lepra Society.
The vision centres, located in the Tushura Block of Belangir district and the Bheden Block of Bargarh district, will act as local eye health hubs that will not only bring accessible and affordable eye health care to patients but also connect them with their local health system.
“Although most eye conditions can easily be treated by a simple pair of prescription eyeglasses or a surgery, many people are unable to access the eye care they need due to a variety of factors, including lack of services in their area, lack of information and financial limitations,” says Dr. Troy Cunningham, Country Director – India, Operation Eyesight Universal. “Thanks to the generosity of our donors in Canada and partners in the local community, we are bringing quality eye health care to those who need it most.”
To support the new vision centres, Operation Eyesight is training a team of female community health volunteers who will conduct door-to-door eye health screenings as well as provide public education on topics like personal hygiene, immunization, and maternal and infant health. Patients requiring more advanced treatment will be referred to one of our partner hospitals for care.
“Clear vision and healthy eyes are an important part of overall health and wellness. Access to quality eye health care comes with a host of benefits for people of all ages, allowing them to work, go to school, maintain independence and stay engaged in the community,” Cunningham explains. “Our goal is to declare communities as avoidable blindness-free, where no patient experiences untreated vision loss or blindness, and patients know where to seek care when they need it.”
In the state of Odisha, nearly 18 per cent of people experience visual impairment and 1.77 per cent of individuals over the age of 50 are blind. The leading causes of vision loss and blindness in the state are cataracts and uncorrected refractive error.
“Partnership with local hospitals and with members in the community plays a key role in making diagnosis and treatment services available for those in our project areas in Odisha,” says Abhishek Trivedi, Programme Manager, Operation Eyesight. “Together, we are not only preventing blindness and restoring sight but also strengthening entire health systems.”
Operation Eyesight Universal is an international development organization working to prevent blindness and restore sight in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. Since 1963, the organization has partnered with physicians and communities in India to bring accessible and affordable eye care to those who need it most. Operation Eyesight currently works with communities across 84 districts in 18 Indian states. To date, Operation Eyesight has declared more than 1,200 villages as Avoidable Blindness-Free.
Kajiado County, Kenya, August 30, 2023 – Patients living in Kenya’s Kajiado County and surrounding areas will have access to comprehensive eye health care, thanks to a new eye unit now open in the community.
The Kajiado County Referral Hospital Eye Unit was established in partnership by Operation Eyesight Universal with the County Department of Health and constructed in partnership with CBM Christian Blind Mission. Equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic and surgical equipment, the new facility can provide a range of eye health services, including comprehensive eye exams and prescription eyeglasses fittings to diagnoses and sight-restoring eye surgery.
“Healthy eyes open up a future full of possibility and opportunity for individuals and entire communities,” says Alice Mwangi, Operation Eyesight’s Country Director for Kenya. “We are bringing quality eye health care to people’s front doors, and this new eye unit will serve as a hub for the entire community, connecting people with not only eye health care but also their local health system.”
The new eye unit was constructed as part of the Vision Impact Project, a four-year project started in October 2021 that aims to bring eye health care to unreached communities in Kajiado County, where blinding trachoma is endemic and other leading causes of vision loss include uncorrected refractive error and cataract. The project will train a local team of 23 local eye care workers and 175 eye screeners to use Peek Vision’s mobile app for screening and referrals. They will screen nearly 720,000 residents through door-to-door outreach. The project will also train 140 healthcare providers in primary eye care.
“Trachoma and other eye diseases such as cataract and untreated refractive error have had a devastating impact on many patients and families in the area, and many have faced barriers to accessing eye health care, including cost and lack of locally-available services,” explains Mwangi. “Today, we are able to better meet demand while also raising awareness about the eye health services that are now available, through education in the surrounding community.”
Since the project launched, Operation Eyesight has trained 33 local community health volunteers to deliver health education, screen community members for eye problems and refer them for treatment if needed. So far, 199,894 people have been screened for eye conditions and over 21,822 people have received treatment, including more than 5,125 people who have received prescription eyeglasses and 183 people who received sight-restoring cataract surgery.
“This is about taking a collaborative approach to care. It starts with outreach in the community and connecting patients and families with comprehensive eye care through this new eye unit,” says Dr. Ritu Ghosh, Operation Eyesight’s Global Director, International Programmes. “Together with the community and local leaders, we are not only transforming eye health care in the region but also strengthening the entire health system.”
To date, Operation Eyesight and partners have declared 35 villages in Kenya as avoidable blindness-free, which means the communities are free of any untreated cases of vision loss.
Operation Eyesight is a Canada-based international development organization working to prevent blindness and restore sight in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. In 2023, Operation Eyesight is celebrating 60 years of collaborating with local hospitals and government partners to invest in sustainable eye health treatment, blindness prevention and community development. Operation Eyesight is implementing projects in eight counties in Kenya: Kajiado, Elgeyo Marakwet, Nandi, Kisii, Narok, Transnzoia, Uasin-Gishu and West Pokot.

Calgary, Canada June 25, 2023 – Operation Eyesight is pleased to celebrate 60 years of partnering with communities worldwide to give the life-changing Gift of Sight through quality, accessible and affordable eye health care. Together with its global community of donors and partners, over the past six decades the organization has grown to become a global leader in eye health.
“2023 is a milestone year for Operation Eyesight. Through the generosity and compassion of our donors, partners and staff, we are transforming more lives than ever before,” says Operation Eyesight President & CEO Kashinath Bhoosnurmath. “As one of the oldest and most well-established organizations in the global eye health sector, we are continuing to grow and evolve as we set our sights on a future free of avoidable blindness.”
Operation Eyesight was started by Calgary businessman Art Jenkyns in 1963. From humble beginnings fundraising to support cataract surgeries in India, the organization has grown into an international development organization that is making quality and affordable eye health care available to those who need it most. Today, it has established programs in eight countries across South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. With work underway to expand into three more countries, Operation Eyesight is staying true to its mission to prevent blindness and restore sight.
“Our approach has evolved, but our mission remains the same. Whether it is a simple pair of eyeglasses or more advanced care such as eye surgery, we believe everyone has the right to sight,” Bhoosnurmath adds. “Our innovative model and focus on communities and leveraging their unique strengths continues to make us a global leader in eye health.”
In 2022, the organization screened nearly 2.76 million people globally for eye health conditions and provided sight-restoring eye surgery to more than 160,000 people.
Partnership with local governments and hospitals, and investment by these agencies into project costs, helps ensure the organization’s projects are sustainable and that impact is felt long after Operation Eyesight leaves a community.
Operation Eyesight’s model is both replicable and sustainable because it is focused on addressing the root causes of vision loss. Today, its teams’ work is about so much more than providing eyeglasses and surgeries – it is also about improving access to healthcare, bringing clean water to communities, and supporting education and rights for women and girls.
“Our work is made possible through support from our global community of staff, local physicians and community health workers, like-minded partners, local government departments, generous donors and communities themselves,” Bhoosnurmath says. “On behalf of all of us at Operation Eyesight, I would like to thank our global community for their commitment to our shared vision of the elimination of avoidable blindness. Happy 60th anniversary to us all.”
Operation Eyesight is a Canada-based international development organization working to prevent blindness and restore sight in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.

Iten, Elgeyo-Marakwet County, Kenya, March 21, 2023 – More patients living in Elgeyo-Marakwet County, Kenya and surrounding areas will have access to advanced eye health care, thanks to a new operation theatre now open at the Eye Unit at Iten County Referral Hospital.
Made possible through the generosity of Operation Eyesight’s donors, the operation theatre was established in partnership with the county government and the Ophthalmic Services Unit at Kenya’s National Ministry of Health. The facility will provide the space and equipment needed to provide sight-restoring eye surgery to patients.
“Healthy eyes and vision care change lives. For a parent, it can mean the chance to provide for their family. For a child, it can mean the chance to attend and thrive at school,” says Alice Mwangi, Operation Eyesight’s Country Director for Kenya, pictured above with Kashinath Bhoosnurmath, President & CEO.
“We are bringing quality eye health care to people’s front doors, and this new operation theatre builds on the success of other eye services that have recently been added to the community.”
To support the new operation theatre, Operation Eyesight has provided training for three ophthalmic workers, supported the purchase of consumables and eye medicine, and conducted community outreach activities. The organization also supported the construction of the Iten Eye Unit, which opened in October 2021, providing much-needed space for doctors and patients.
“In the past, the eye unit operated out of two small rooms. Many patients and families previously faced barriers to accessing eye health care, including cost and lack of locally-available services,” explains Mwangi. “Today, we are able to better meet demand while also raising awareness about the available services in the surrounding community.”
Operation Eyesight began working in Elgeyo-Marakwet County in 2008. As part of its Hospital-Based Community Eye Health Programs, Operation Eyesight has trained 36 local community health volunteers to deliver health education, screen community members for eye problems and refer them for treatment if needed. To date, 180,000 local residents have been screened for eye conditions and over 75,000 people have received treatment, including more than 3,500 people who have received sight-restoring cataract surgeries.
So far, Operation Eyesight and partners have declared 35 villages as avoidable blindness-free, which means the communities are free of any untreated cases of vision loss.
Through the program, OneSight EssilorLuxottica Foundation has donated over 1,000 pairs of readers for community members.

Calgary, November 23, 2022 – Operation Eyesight is pleased to welcome Dr. Fatimah Gilani to the Operation Eyesight Canada Board of Directors.
As an ophthalmologist, Dr. Gilani is involved in both research as well as clinical practice, specializing in treatment and management of a variety of eye conditions, ranging from cataracts to refractive surgery procedures, as well as a range of retinal diseases and conditions.

Having grown up in Kenya, she brings an international perspective to her practice and throughout her career has participated in charitable work in Kenya, Pakistan, Vietnam, Mexico and Honduras.
“As an ophthalmologist, seeing the difference the gift of sight makes in someone’s life is the most rewarding part of my job,” Dr. Gilani says. “I’m excited to be joining a global community that impacts not only the lives of individuals, but entire communities, regions and countries.”
Operation Eyesight is also pleased to welcome Jaspreet Grewal to its Canadian Board of Directors.
As a clinician, venture partner and published researcher, Jaspreet Grewal brings to the Board nearly two decades of experience in the life sciences industry.
Jaspreet has held several positions in various healthcare organizations, which has given her a broad skill set and robust healthcare and investment network while working in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Bermuda.
She holds a Master’s in Clinical Vision Sciences from Georgetown University, an Executive Certificate in Public Health from Harvard University and an Executive MBA from the London School of Economics and Political Science. Her research interests have focused drug and device trials within a range of clinical areas, including ophthalmology and paediatrics.
“I’m passionate about building ecosystems, supporting innovation, and exploring the potential of new and forward-thinking therapies for patients and families,” Jaspreet says. “Operation Eyesight is focused on partnership and leading innovative approaches to care and programs. I’m excited to be part of that. Having interned at Operation Eyesight during my undergraduate years, it’s a delight to be able to continue my contribution at a Board level and work with such an impactful, global team.”
In addition to her volunteer role with Operation Eyesight, Jaspreet is the CEO of Knowde Group, a global life sciences consulting firm. She is also a Board Director with BioAlberta and Heroic Hearts Project Canada.

Calgary, November 16, 2022 – Charity Intelligence Canada has named Operation Eyesight one of the Top 10 Impact Charities for the fifth consecutive year, and one of the Top 10 International Impact Charities for the third year in a row.
Each year, Charity Intelligence reports on more than 800 charities. In 2022, Operation Eyesight was among the top performers when it comes to measurable demonstrated impact. Organizations are rated based on several factors, focused on the positive change created by every dollar received through donations.
“Operation Eyesight is a leader when it comes to our focus on the unique needs of individuals and communities. This translates into community buy-in, which ensures that our impact is both sustainable and long-lasting,” says Kashinath Bhoosnurmath, President and CEO of Operation Eyesight. “Everything we do is made possible thanks to our global community of supporters – our donors, our local partners, and our amazing staff and volunteers. They have joined us in our mission because of our unique and evidence-based approach to addressing the root causes of vision loss.”
Restoring sight and preventing blindness is connected with a host of other international development issues, including education, access to fresh water, equality for women and girls and whole-person health. That’s why Operation Eyesight partners with local governments and hospitals to bring eye health care to the most remote and underserved communities and address the underlying causes of vision loss.
This ensures the impact of our work is felt long after we leave a community.
Across the globe, more than one billion people are living with vision loss, of which 90 percent is preventable or treatable. In many cases, a simple eye exam and a pair of prescription eyeglasses are all that is needed to restore someone’s sight. In other cases, access to clean water and eye health education can prevent loss of sight. Through our partnership with communities, Operation Eyesight impacts the lives of individuals by restoring their independence, helping them break the cycle of poverty, and empowering them to build brighter futures for themselves and their communities.
Operation Eyesight is a Calgary-based charity that currently works in Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia and Zambia.

CALGARY, August 30, 2022 – Operation Eyesight is pleased to announce that we have been granted Consultative Status with the United Nations (UN) Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).
Operation Eyesight was granted special consultative status – a status granted to NGOs that have a special competence in a field – for our expertise in global eye health.
“It is humbling for our collective work and expertise in delivering eye health care to be recognized on the international stage. This would not be possible without our partners, donors and communities of work worldwide,” says Kashinath Bhoosnurmath, our President and CEO.
“This gives us the voice to influence the direction of public health policy and will also provide a platform to table issues related to eye health, education, clean water and infrastructure.”
ECOSOC is one of the six principal bodies of the UN which oversees the economic and social fields of the organization. With 54 elected members and 1,600 NGOs, the Council gathers every July in a central forum to curate policy suggestions based on current, international economic and social issues.
Along with ECOSOC, Operation Eyesight will have the opportunity to work with other UN bodies working with NGOs, such as the General Assembly and Human Rights Council.
“There is close alignment between our work and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. As an international development organization, we are excited to collaborate with more partners globally, and ultimately impact more lives,” Bhoosnurmath adds.
UN officials will regularly review the actions of Operation Eyesight, which will encourage our organization to evolve and innovate, as we continue to establish high levels of accountability across all departments and programs.
