Sightsavers India NGO - Donate For Eye Care

 With every passing day, visual impairment is
growing in India. At present, it has become a
significant problem that is affecting the daily
lives of millions of people, as well as the
family members of the visually impaired. While
some of the reasons for visual impairment are
uncontrollable, there are a few factors like our
lifestyle, habits, and choices that result in
visual impairment. Sightsavers is one of the
leading NGOs in India that has pledged to help
these millions of visually impaired individuals. 
3
Operating in more than 13 states in India,
Sightsavers is indeed, one of the biggest NGOs
that work for eye health. In fact, it is the most
famous NGO inIndia. One of the biggest reasons
behind visual impairment is a lack of education
and awareness, and this is where Sightsavers come
into action. This reputed NGO conducts eye health
awareness camps, workshops, and seminars, gives
scholarships to aspiring ophthalmologists,
encourages eye care drives, distributes
spectacles, and helps the poor and marginalised
sections of society with treatments and surgeries
for the eye
4
The volunteers and activists associated with
Sightsavers put forth every kind of effort to
educate the masses about preventable diseases and
conditions of the eye, ways of maintaining eye
health, and above all, the importance of
performing regular screenings of the eye. For
several decades, Sightsavers has been offering
these services in every corner of India, and
helping those in need. 
5
Sightsavers, the most popular NGO in India, makes
it easy for the general masses to get advanced
eye care facilities. Visually impaired
individuals, and also individuals who are
experiencing preventable blindness in rural
areas, or underserved zones of urban areas are
helped by Sightsavers, because, for this
socioeconomic class of people, accessing the
necessary treatment for visual impairment is
extremely difficult, if not impossible. The
challenges they face due to limited access to eye
care services, are solved by Sightsavers. 
6
What makes Sightsavers a top NGO that works for
uplifting the visually impaired individuals is
the fact that, after surgical or nonsurgical
treatments, the volunteer teams ensure that the
patient receives proper after-care services. The
most common diseases and disorders of the eye,
like glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and
cataract, that require a definite course of
medicine until complete recovery, are focused.
7
 It has to be noted that these conditions worsen
with time, and can result in permanent loss of
vision and even complete blindness, if they are
not treated in time. The medical team and
volunteers associated with Sightsavers educate
every patient about the importance of getting
timely treatment and also following the medicine
course administered for a speedy and easy
recovery. The responsibilities of Sightsavers are
versatile. To offer quality medical service to
the visually impaired and ensure that all
operations are conducted smoothly, Sightsavers
needs donations to collaborate with the best
experts in the medical field. All of these make
Sightsavers the most suitable NGO to donate to.

Sightsavers is the best NGO in Delhi NCR. To
date, it has helped millions of visually impaired
individuals find new meaning in life. Generally,
people who are visually impaired find daily
tasks, including personal care, extremely
difficult to do. Simple chores like cooking and
cleaning, grooming, dressing, moving objects from
one place to another, or travelling become
extremely challenging tasks for them. Visually
impaired people or those suffering from
preventable blindness often have to depend on
others for navigation, personal care, and
accessing information from print publications,
television, or the internet.
9
 Mobility challenges add to their woes, and all
of this combined often makes a visually impaired
person suffer from extreme despair, depression,
hopelessness, and deprivation. Limitations in
their right to education, their right to stay
entertained, and often their ability to
communicate makes the visually impaired fail in
their quest to become equals with the rest of
society. No wonder why visually impaired people,
the permanently blind, and those suffering from
preventable blindness are treated as lesser
beings.
10
Sightsavers has helped them combat the challenges
of limited employment opportunities by providing
them training for specific tasks that will help
them earn a livelihood. When a visually impaired
person is finally able to socially and
financially support himself or herself,
Sightsavers considers it a success story that
will inspire millions of others to overcome the
social stigma and discrimination that visually
impaired individuals have always faced. 
11
Despite conducting mammoth-scale operations all
across India, Sightsavers maintains transparency
at all stages and adheres to ethical practises.
This factor also makes Sightsavers the best
fundraising platform in India. Sightsavers uses
all the funds collected to
12
restore the sight of individuals who are visually
impaired, provide classroom support to visually
impaired school children, offer livelihood
support to people with disability, extend eye
care programmes like free eye checkups and
corrective measures for truck drivers across
India, create an enabling environment for
disabled people, drive social inclusion and
provide the right technology, physical aids, and
tools to the visually impaired individuals so
that they can enjoy greater independence.
13
Sightsavers has always believed in creating a
world where no person would become blind due to
reasons that are treatable or avoidable. The wide
range of measures undertaken by Sightsavers has
enabled people with disabilities to enjoy equal
participation in society as well as in the world
of employment. Ever since its inception in 1966,
Sightsavers has had its medical team and
volunteers examine 55 million people, treat 36.4
million people by offering them spectacles and
medication, and operate on 5 million people,
bringing hope back into their lives. 
14
 For its contribution to the empowerment of
backward social classes, Sightsavers has been
conferred several awards and accolades.
Sightsavers also collaborated with the government
and local partners to meet their goals. However,
a donor must keep in mind that Sightsavers does
not deploy any third-party organisation for the
collection of funds via email, newsletters,
messages, phone calls, social media, or any other
correspondence. Sightsavers does not take any
responsibility for the above-mentioned causes, as
those might be done by scammers. An individual
must visit the official website of Sightsavers to
make a donation.
