Our People

Operation Eyesight is fortunate to have a world-class team of administrative and medical professionals behind its program and fundraising activities. Although relatively few in number, they have made an impact far exceeding their combined efforts. This is because Operation Eyesight is, in fact, a community of support – people from many nations and walks of life all focused on providing "the best for the poorest."

Our community is made up of people with all kinds of resources to focus on eliminating avoidable blindness. Some have specific expertise to offer, some provide volunteer leadership and some provide their financial resources. All have a valued and necessary part to play in bringing sight – and life – to people in urgent need.
