The Significance of $150


 

Why $150?

With $150, we can restore vision for one patient with an eye condition. For example, this $150 donation can fund a simple 20-minute cataract surgery to restore sight for a patient living in a remote area with limited access to eye care, effectively transforming their lives.


The Fred Hollows Foundation estimates that every $1 invested in ending avoidable blindness can create four times the economic benefits.


Over the past 15 years, The Foundation has supported:
 

  • screening 39,538,993 people

  • 1,537,721 cataract operations

  • 285,406 surgeries to treat trachoma

  • treating 115,703,772 people with antibiotics for trachoma

  • delivering 5,384,261 sight-saving or improving interventions

  • distribution of 822,935 glasses

  • training 2,023 surgeons

  • training 397,928 community health nurses

  • equipping 10,833 facilities


Why is it important to save sight?

Blindness is more than a health issue. It is also a social and economic problem.  It is especially difficult for patients living in poverty and remote areas to seek medical help. 

Some patients may not understand that eye diseases like cataract, trachoma and refractive error can be treated easily. Many patients cannot afford treatment or transport to see a doctor. 

It can also be challenging for hospitals and clinics to provide simple eye services to patients. There may not be enough experienced medical staff and facilities.
