THE PROBLEM

2 billion+

people worldwide live with preventable or untreatable vision loss.

In underserved communities — both here in the Greater Toronto Area and across East Africa — millions lack access to the eye care that could preserve or restore their sight. The tools exist. The expertise exists. What’s missing is the bridge between them.

FORSEE Canada builds that bridge — funding research that advances how eye disease is diagnosed and treated, training the next generation of eye care leaders through our scholarship program, and delivering direct care to communities that need it most.

90% of blindness is preventable. That’s not a slogan — it’s a mandate.
