02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
The charity was originally set up to help eliminate common causes of curable blindness globally, namely cataract and corneal blindness, and to support other causes of curable and treatable blindness. This goal was restricted due to the Covid global pandemic and therefore the charity shifted it's focus to helping vulnerable people within the local community. With nominations from local optometry practices, successful candidates are selected for funded cataract treatment who would otherwise be increasingly struggling with their day-to-day activities whilst waiting on NHS treatment. Since there has been no improvement in NHS wait times, the charity's focus remains at a local level.
