Over 40 years ago, Orbis International took to the skies for the very first time with a mission to save sight.
And this World Pilot Day, we’re highlighting the crucial role pilots play in delivering quality eye care to regions with limited access—all thanks to our Flying Eye Hospital and committed supporters like you.
Together with our incredible team of volunteer doctors and nurses, our pilots are helping people avoid a life of preventable blindness and vision loss.
Volunteer pilots travel to all corners of the globe—Africa, Asia, the Middle East, the Caribbean, and Latin America with a passion for saving sight.
Your gift will help provide the resources needed to treat blinding conditions like trachoma and cataracts, train eye teams where the need is greatest, and meet patients where they are.
The work that you make possible is truly life-changing for children and their parents. It could mean the difference between missing out on moments like a child’s first step, a vibrant sunset on a beautiful day, or the smile on a loved one's face—things we experience with healthy sight.
