Local NGO partners
Optometry Giving Sight raises the funds to allow those implementing programs around the world to do what they do best – give sight to those in need. Below are just some of the agencies and NGOs that are doing work in refractive error programs in countries most in need.
Optometry Giving Sight is a global response to a global problem. With at least 250 million people around the world in need of eye care services, we can only make a significant impact on this global problem by working together.
ICEE - International Centre for Eyecare Education
Founded in 1998, with its headquarters at University of New South Wales in Australia, ICEE is a not-for-profit, non-government organization that is committed to delivering a solution. ICEE's mission is to eliminate avoidable blindness due to uncorrected refractive error by developing sustainable solutions for disadvantaged communities in need.
ICEE is also active in service delivery and development of human resources and infrastructure for eye care delivery to those in need in the Asia-Pacific region and Africa.

Sightsavers International (SSI)
Sightsavers works to combat blindness in developing countries, restoring sight through specialist treatment and eye care. We also support people who are irreversibly blind by providing education, counseling and training. We help the people who need it most - those living in poverty in some of the world's poorest countries.
