We are a team of UNSW Optometry Students raising money for Optometry Giving Sight. The charity aims to raise awareness and funds in the fight to eradicate avoidable blindness. The three main aims of the charity are to

-Train – local eye care professionals and;

-Establish – vision centres for sustainability to;

-Deliver – eye care and low cost glasses.

More than 600 million people around the world are blind simply because they do not have access to an eye examination and an adequate pair of glasses. For these people, there are adverse effects on education, and this can consequently lead to poverty. Our aims are to eliminate avoidable blindness and help people to break out of the poverty cycle.
