World Sight Day is Thursday, October 9, 2025, a global call to make eye care accessible, available, and affordable for everyone. This year’s IAPB theme—#LoveYourEyes—asks all of us to put people at the center of eye health, from local clinics to national policy.
At Sights on Health, this mission is personal. We’re a volunteer-powered 501(c)(3) delivering cataract surgery and medical care to communities with limited access in South America—working shoulder-to-shoulder with local partners to restore sight and expand care.
Proof that access changes everything

Since 2012, our volunteer surgical team has performed 825+ sight-restoring cataract surgeries—each one a patient gaining back independence, livelihood, and connection.
-
In 2024, our Peru mission provided 78 cataract surgeries and hundreds of adult and pediatric medical visits—because vision is part of whole-person health.

In 2025, we joined forces with FIBUSPAM Hospital in Riobamba, Ecuador, alongside SEE International, to deliver life-changing care in both urban and remote communities. SoH performed 91 cataract surgeries, surpassing the team’s original goal. SEE International
