It has a special “Flying Eye Hospital” - a plane with operating rooms and classrooms. This project was started in 1982. It trains local doctors and nurses to provide long-term eye care. It also treats patients and teaches people how to protect their eyes. It works in over 90 countries and helps millions of people see again. Why do you think there are charities like Orbis?
