What We Do
Vision loss impacts many, especially those in underserved communities – refugees, Indigenous peoples, individuals with disabilities, and those from lower-income backgrounds.
To help, we’re offering free eye care services to newly arrived refugees in South Australia, in partnership with local organisations. This includes eye tests, interpreters, and glasses – all at no cost.
Our clinic is located at 212 Pirie Street Adelaide SA 5000. This is just the beginning; we’re committed to expanding our services from here.
Our Vision
A world where everyone can see clearly
We Strive To
- Ensure everyone has access to eye care services
- Reduce preventable vision loss in underserved communities
To achieve this, we:
- Provide person-centred eye care services
- Support communities and service providers in accessing eye care
- Raise awareness about the impact of vision loss on well-being and advocate for community needs
Our approach is guided by:
- Collaboration: Working together with communities and service providers to enhance existing services
- Innovation: Continuously improving our approaches to better serve community needs
- Community Voice: Actively listening to the community to shape our work and the broader conversation around eye health
Why We Do It
At least 2.2 billion people globally have some form of vision loss. Vision affects every part of our lives. Without clear sight, everyday tasks like reading, travelling, working, and learning become challenging.
The good news is that up to 90% of vision loss is preventable or treatable, often with something as simple as a pair of glasses.
However, not everyone has access to eye care, and the issue is more pronounced in underserved groups – refugees, Indigenous communities, people living with disabilities, and those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds.
Good vision opens doors to more opportunities. That’s why we’re working to improve access to eye care for these communities by addressing the barriers they face.
