Mexico

Despite having a population of 129.7 million people, most people lack access to affordable and state-of-the-art facilities for eye care.

Recently, Charity Vision has partnered with OftaVision to start bringing better and more affordable eye care to the people of Chihuahua.

Current Projects

Sending Equipment

CharityVision’s warehouse plays a crucial role in the fight against blindness by serving as the central hub for acquiring, sorting, and shipping eyeglass frames and lenses to our OftaVisión partners in Mexico.
New Clinic in Chihuahua

Our clinic in Chihuahua, home to one of the only retina specialists in the area, expands access to highly specialized eye care treatment that would otherwise be out of reach for many. Patients from across the region receive sight-restoring services regardless of their ability to pay full price.
Eye Screenings

The team aims to collaborate with schools and businesses to ensure that children in need receive accessible eye care. This marks the inaugural year for the program's implementation. There is an urgent demand for portable equipment to be delivered to outreach events, along with additional personnel or technicians to assist with screenings.
Key Partner: OftaVisión

Oftavisión is a network of ophthalmology clinics in Mexico providing comprehensive eye care, including exams, diagnostics, and surgical treatment, using modern technology and trained specialists. CharityVision supports their teams by providing equipment and consumables that help identify patients in need and enable social pricing for the most vulnerable.

“Working as Director for CharityVision Uganda allows me to see the beautiful smiles of my people regain sight and hope after a long time of blindness. Thanks to CharityVision, we can help those with curable blindness.”
