Cybersight

Cybersight is a digital extension of our mission. It increases our ability to provide training and support with our local partners. With Cybersight, we can make an impact in places where a physical presence simply isn't possible due to cost, logistics or security.

Our expert volunteers provide on-demand advice for complex cases, mentoring local eye care professionals on diagnosis and treatment of their patients. We help combat geographic isolation with easy access to an expert second opinion.

We also make sure that everyone benefits from our training activities on-board the Flying Eye Hospital, wherever it is in the world. We broadcast live lectures and surgeries to partner hospitals and classrooms around the globe. Remote participants enjoy a similar experience as those in the on-board classroom: they see surgeries through the operating microscope and can ask questions of expert surgeons and lecturers in real-time.

Cybersight is also a living library of our collective training efforts, freely available to all eye health professionals including current and future generations of nurses, optometrists, anesthesiologists and ophthalmologists.

In 2018 alone we trained more than 5,800 eye health professionals in 165 countries with Cybersight live teaching events. We also facilitated more than 2,100 patient consultations.

But this is just the beginning - with your support we can reach thousands more...
