THE NEED FOR GRACE VISION

Grace Vision provides free, high quality primary eye care to the poorest region of the poorest province in South Africa. Cataracts, Glaucoma and Macular Degeneration are prevalent conditions in poor rural communities.

Our specialised team aims to provide free cataract removal surgeries and vision restoration procedures to those who need it most. Blindness and poor vision can be reduced and even prevented if people have access to primary eye care and life-changing eye surgeries.

Grace Vision aims to restore sight, dignity and life.

THE NEED

It is estimated that around 400,000 South Africans are already blind.

Approximately 240,000 of these people are blind from cataracts (official estimation). The number of cataract cases is increasing every year, and those suffering usually cannot afford procedures to correct them.

OUR MISSION

Nearly 80% of cases of blindness are preventable or treatable with medical interventions.

A growing number of children with treatable vision impairments do not have access to the treatment they need. It is our mission to change these statistics.
