About the Program

The Vision Myanmar Program is a collaborative initiative between
the South Australian Institute of Ophthalmology and the Myanmar Ophthalmological Society, run by Sight For All.

Sight For All is a charitable organization based at the South Australian Institute of Ophthalmology. Our voluntary team is dedicated to fighting avoidable blindness both in our own community and in developing countries where 90% of the world’s blind live.
Sight For All is providing support to ophthalmologists in a number
of countries in Asia and further afield. By assisting local ophthalmologists and their staff with the equipment and skills to prevent blindness and restore sight, the Foundation can leave a
long-term legacy of sustainable care with ripple effects improving
the daily lives of thousands of people.

Avoidable blindness due to diabetes is a major problem in the indigenous population of Australia. Sight For All is working together with The Aboriginal Health Council of South Australia in the planning of blindness prevention campaigns for the indigenous communities.

Finally, Sight For All has recently embarked on an initiative with the Royal Society for the Blind and the Freemason’s Foundation to raise awareness in the wider SA and NT communities of blinding yet preventable eye diseases and services available for the vision impaired.
