Cataract surgery has proven effective in reversing vision loss and blindness; however, financial barriers prevent many communities, especially those in underserved nations, from accessing this relatively basic medical service.

At our “Eye Camps,” COPILOT Cares supports the logistics and facilitation of the medical needs surrounding vision care. This includes finding qualified medical professionals, identifying suitable locations, connecting with patients and their families, and providing other necessary services for those who otherwise may have resigned themselves unnecessarily to a life of blindness.

In the United States, cataract surgeries are commonplace, providing many with the gift of sight. Dr. Moby Kazmi, recognizing the profound impact of restoring vision to those who have suffered from avoidable blindness for years, believes that everyone should have access to such life-changing care. The ability to restore vision where it has been lost should be a global priority.

Inspired by this vision, COPILOT Cares is expanding our efforts to host more eye camps across Africa and Asia, bringing the light of hope to thousands for whom access to this care has been out of reach.
