Standard Vision Care Foundation
Vision For All
The community outreach and charitable arm of Standard Eye Specialist Hospital — working to prevent avoidable blindness across Nigeria.
Our Purpose
Most blindness in Nigeria is avoidable
Cataract, glaucoma and uncorrected refractive error account for the great majority of sight loss in our communities — and all three can be detected with simple screening. The barrier is rarely medicine. It is distance, cost and awareness. The Foundation exists to remove those three barriers.
Our Programmes
