Advancing global health & well-being
UN SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being
Vision is a fundamental human right. We strive to ensure that everyone, regardless of circumstance, has access to corneal transplantation.
Corneal blindness is a major public health challenge affecting millions of people worldwide, especially in low- and middle-income countries where access to transplant tissue and surgical care is limited. Eversight directly addresses this gap through tissue placement, education and infrastructure development.
By providing corneal tissue for transplantation and training for local medical teams, we support long-term improvements in health systems and outcomes. When we help someone receive a corneal transplant, we’re not just facilitating a medical procedure.
We’re giving them back their independence, their confidence, and often, their whole world. And we’re doing this in places where this kind of care wasn’t even possible before.
Supporting quality clinical education
UN SDG 4: Quality Education
In addition to providing tissue for transplantation and research, we also educate and empower.
Education is key to sustainable eye banking. Through international workshops, one-on-one mentorship and partnerships with global organizations, Eversight empowers clinicians and eye bankers with the knowledge and tools they need to succeed.
We believe in building local capacity—not creating reliance. When we train a local surgeon or an eye bank technician, that person goes on to help countless others in their community. It’s like starting a chain reaction of positive change.
By investing in training and continuing education, we help professionals become leaders in their regions, capable of advancing eye donation and corneal transplantation for years to come.
Supporting the global economy
UN SDG 8: Decent Work & Economic Growth
Vision impairment costs the global economy $411 billion every year. That’s because when people can’t see, they often can’t work.
Every time we help restore someone's sight, they can regain their independence, return to work, support their family and contribute to their community.
In fact, research has shown that for every dollar invested in health across developing countries, up to four dollars go back into the local economy.
Promoting equality & reducing health disparities
UN SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities
While vision loss is debilitating, it doesn’t affect everyone equally. Some communities have been left behind when it comes to eye care. But we’re changing that, one region at a time.
Sight-saving care should not be a privilege based on geography or income. Eversight’s international efforts are grounded in the principle of health equity—ensuring that all people, regardless of where they live, have access to vision-restoring services.
By collaborating with government agencies, local eye banks and organizations across borders, we support community-led solutions to reduce disparities in care and opportunity.
Promoting self-sufficiency
UN SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
We’re helping communities become self-sufficient.
We don’t just come in, do our work and leave. Rather, we help build local eye banking systems that last.
We work side-by-side with local teams, understanding their needs, respecting their culture and empowering them to create solutions that work for their community.
A shared vision for global impact
No one can do this work alone.
Through long-term collaborations, technical support and culturally sensitive partnerships, Eversight is strengthening global eye banking in alignment with the UN SDGs—and, most importantly, in service of the people and communities who will benefit most.
As Eversight continues this work, we remain committed to ethical, sustainable and people-centered practices that ensure the gift of sight can reach further than ever before.
