PERU
For more information about eye campaigns, visit CharityVision-Peru Facebook.
Peru has the highest visual impairment rate of any country in Latin America, but its hospitals lack affordable supplies to meet the demand of patients in need.
Immediate Needs
CharityVision partners with public and nonprofit hospitals throughout Peru to provide surgical intervention to people in need. Because 6.69 million Peruvians live in rural areas, we also run mobile eye screenings around the country to provide glasses and surgeries.

"Clínica Oftalmológica CharityVision" is open!
This clinic will make it possible to perform surgeries and vision screenings at a rate never before attainable for the people of the Cusco area. The most incredible part? This new clinic allows our Peru programs to become self-sustaining, eventually completely paying for their own program expansion. This allows CharityVision donations to spread to new needful areas, expanding the fight against blindness.
