A nonprofit, humanitarian organization, ORBIS works in developing countries to save sight through hands-on training, public health education and improved access to eye care. ORBIS operates the world's only flying eye hospital -- a fully equipped teaching facility, built inside a DC-10 aircraft. The aircraft flies to developing countries bringing practical, hands-on training to local eye doctors, nurses, technicians and health care workers and restoring sight to thousands. ORBIS envisions a world in which avoidable blindness is eliminated. A world of quality eye care treatment for every human being, especially the more than 180 million who are blind, severely visually impaired or at risk of becoming blind. Right now, 80 percent of those who are blind do not need to be. Millions can be cured with techniques routinely practiced in many countries.
