Mission Statement
We provide essential and transformative eye care, around the world and right here at home. We bring medical volunteers and partners to care for the people who need it most. Our teams work side-by-side with local doctors and clinics to improve access to high-quality eyecare. Together we break the cycle of hardships that blindness and visual impairment cause, making patients, families, and communities healthier and stronger.
About This Cause
SEE International works to provide sight-restoring and life-transforming eye care to patients, regardless of where they live or their ability to pay. Generous support from our dedicated partners, donors, and volunteers allows us to give our patients high-quality eye care, to which they would normally not have access. Since 1974, we have treated over 4 million people and provided surgeries to more than half a million people. We offer these services in more than 80 countries worldwide, and right here at home in Santa Barbara County, at no cost to the patient. The Santa Barbara Vision Care Program provides eye care to thousands of people every year, and has done so since the mid-1980’s. The program gives low-income, uninsured community members access to eye care by giving free eye exams, prescription eyeglasses and surgery. The program has helped more than 60,000 people connect to the eye care services they need for a fuller and happier life.
