Visionary Women

Each year on March 8 people around the world celebrate International Women’s Day -an opportunity to reflect on progress made towards gender equality. With 112 million more women than men living with vision loss, including blindness, we know there is still work to be done.

To prepare for 2021, what better way to celebrate than to support Orbis CNY Fortune Sales, and bring good fortune to your loved ones? This year, we are honored to collaborate with the world-renowned brand, SmileyWorld, for the first time! Our New Year exclusive gifts include Lai See raffle tickets, red packets, and handmade cookies.
 

Having world leading experts in eye health teamed up, our 400 volunteers of biomedical engineers, anesthetists, ophthalmologists and nurses from over 30 countries engage to advance the level of eye care for future generations through sharing their skills with local teams.

Orbis is an international nonprofit that transforms lives by preventing and treating avoidable blindness. Our charitable organization’s mission is the building of a global partner network, we are mentoring, training and inspiring eye care teams in the world’s poorest countries.

Collaborating with local partners such as hospitals, universities,government agencies and ministries of health,our global and local charitable organization Hong Kong team advocates the prioritization of eye health on public health agendas and share hands-on ophthalmological skills upgrades that help strengthen countries’ healthcare infrastructures.

In addition to needlessly blind people, those who benefit from our efforts and our donors’ support include health workers in rural clinics and eye surgeons in urban areas. Our iconic Flying Eye Hospital MD-10 jet remains the world’s only airborne ophthalmic teaching hospital.

We have also pioneered an award winning Cybersight telemedicine initiative that offers eye care professionals one-on-one training and support online.
