Eye care centre targets green vision

A partnership between Hoya UK and Orbis UK aimed to raise £50,000 over three years to establish a Green Vision Centre in India.

The centre would provide eye health services to an estimated 100,000 children and adults via sustainable means through the use of solar panels, software and energy-efficient appliances.

Eye care at the vision centre would be affordably priced for low-income individuals or free care would be provided to those who cannot pay.

Rebecca Cronin, CEO at Orbis UK, said: ‘Educations and livelihoods can be severely impacted by a lack of access to quality eye care and small interventions can make a large difference.
