Eye Reports

Dalian, China 2010 Flying Eye Hospital Program

China has the second most blind people in the world (behind India) with more than 6 million people blind and more than 12 million with visual impairments. Pediatric eye diseases is on the rise and our objective is to help our partners establish a dedicated pediatric eye care center to serve this northwestern section of the country, which they are currently without. ORBIS aims to build the local capacity of our partners so that they are able to properly treat the eye diseases of their citizens.

Join us to recapture the screening day for 400 kindergarten children and a lecture series for the parents of those children during the program:


ORBIS staff screened 400 kindergarten children and provided a lecture series for the parents.


Our long-time volunteer faculty member, Dr. Jeffery Nerad, recently joined us for the Dalian Flying Eye Hospital program.
