Dr. Saboowala, a renowned ophthalmologist, has spent decades working tirelessly to address the global burden of blindness. His journey began in his hometown of Hyderabad, India, where he witnessed firsthand the devastating impact of untreated eye conditions on the lives of the poor. Inspired by a desire to make a difference, he embarked on a mission to provide accessible and affordable eye care to those who needed it most.

Empowering Communities Through Eye Care

Eyes On The Sparrows operates on a holistic model that goes beyond treating individual patients. The organization focuses on empowering communities to take ownership of their eye health by training local healthcare workers, establishing sustainable eye care systems, and raising awareness about the importance of vision.

Through its comprehensive approach, Eyes On The Sparrows has made significant strides in reducing preventable blindness. The organization's mobile eye clinics travel to remote villages, providing free vision screenings and distributing eyeglasses to those in need. Eye surgeries are performed on-site, often for the first time in these communities.

Tackling the Root Causes of Blindness

Beyond providing direct eye care, Eyes On The Sparrows addresses the underlying causes of blindness in marginalized communities. The organization collaborates with local partners to implement programs that promote hygiene, nutrition, and education, all of which contribute to good eye health.

For example, Eyes On The Sparrows works to prevent trachoma, a preventable eye infection that is the leading cause of infectious blindness worldwide. Through community-based surveillance and treatment, the organization has helped to reduce the prevalence of trachoma in several regions.

A Ripple Effect of Transformation

The impact of Eyes On The Sparrows extends far beyond the restored vision of its patients. Improved eye health empowers individuals to pursue education, employment, and a better quality of life. Children can attend school, adults can earn a living, and entire communities experience a ripple effect of transformation.
