SEE’s Humanitarian of the Year Award honors the dedication and achievement of volunteer ophthalmologists and partner organizations that are committed to ending preventable blindness.
This June, we partnered with Alcon and Hospital de la Familia in Nuevo Progresso, Guatemala, to offer vital eyecare services and cataract surgeries to patients in need.
Every year, World Sight Day brings the global health community together to promote awareness of the blindness epidemic.
In February of 2010, SEE volunteer ophthalmologist Dr. Charles Post traveled to El Progreso, Honduras for a week-long program, where he and a team of volunteer medical professionals worked relentlessly to restore sight to individuals in need.
Although the consistent changing of worldly conditions has halted the work of thousands of organizations across the globe, SEE International has remained committed to our goal of providing quality eye care and serving our global community in any way we can.
In February of 2004, current SEE affiliate and volunteer ophthalmologist, Dr. Douglas Katsev, embarked on a mission with a team of medical volunteers to restore sight to patients in Savusavu, Fiji.
