A Global Mission to End Preventable Blindness
The Andrew Dougherty Vision Foundation is committed to eradicating preventable blindness and improving access to essential eye care services worldwide. Millions of people suffer from vision loss caused by treatable conditions such as cataracts, refractive errors, and preventable eye disease.
Through coordinated medical outreach, donated equipment, and collaboration with experienced ophthalmic professionals, we restore sight, improve quality of life, and help communities thrive.
Why Vision Care Changes Everything
Vision loss affects education, employment, independence, and dignity. Without access to basic eye care, treatable conditions often lead to lifelong disability.
Supporting vision care helps:
Restore Independence
Restore independence and mobility for individuals and families, allowing them to live full, productive lives without limitations.
Enable Education
Enable children to succeed in school through clear vision, ensuring they can read, learn, and reach their full potential.
Strengthen Economies
Strengthen families and local economies through improved productivity and reduced healthcare burdens.
Support Livelihoods
Help adults return to work and provide for their families, breaking cycles of poverty caused by vision impairment.
