To commemorate this special occassion, the theme of Action for Sight 2022 is Sharing Celebrations - 40 years of Saving Sight to highlight and celebrate the positive impacts and achievements of our sight-saving journey, made possible by the benevolent support of our donors, partners and Volunteer Faculty over the past four decades, while keeping an eye on the future with a committed vision to ensuring sustainable and accessible eye care services will be available in low- and middle-income countries, so that no one will have to needlessly live with avoidble blindness.
An important annual campaign, Orbis Macau and the Action for Sight's partners will direct dedicated efforts to advocate eye health and care in the local community, while fundraising for Orbis sight-saving programs and sustainable trainings to provide life-changing help to visually imapired patients in need.
