To date, HelpMeSee has restored sight to over 265,000 people who were impacted by cataract blindness or visual impairment. We have the solutions to eradicate cataract blindness globally in the next ten years. Join the HelpMeSee Global Community to make lasting change.

Cataracts cause the eye's lens to become cloudy, resulting in significant vision problems. Imagine living with this kind of vision impairment daily!
