The Fred Hollows Foundation

The Fred Hollows Foundation is a global charity dedicated to ending unnecessary blindness and improving eye health, primarily in developing countries. Named after Australian ophthalmologist Fred Hollows, the foundation trains local eye health workers, provides affordable eye care and surgeries, and advocates for better health services. Its work helps people regain or preserve sight, enabling them to lead fuller lives, support their families, and contribute to their communities. The foundation aims to reduce the global burden of avoidable blindness and promote equitable access to quality eye care for all.
