Eye From Zion

Eye From Zion is an Israeli humanitarian organization founded in 2007 that brings medical aid and eye care to underserved populations around the world. Its delegations of doctors and nurses perform treatments and surgeries alongside local medical teams in hospitals, clinics, and mobile treatment units, including in remote locations. The organization also trains local medical personnel in modern techniques to enable independent operation. Its values include empathy, expertise, partnership, and innovation. Notable projects include the Save Sight 1000 project in Ethiopia, where four delegations performed at least 1,000 sight-saving surgeries, and the Myanmar Initiative, which sent seven missions and trained a female doctor in Israel. The organization has developed a unique mobile eye surgery room and, since 2013, has run training centers for medical teams in developing countries. In June 2010, a team of Israeli ophthalmologists performed cataract and vision surgery in the Marshall Islands. Eye From Zion operates as a non-profit NGO and is not a commercial brand; it is included here as a trademarked organizational name.

Eye From Zion was founded in 2007 as an Israeli humanitarian organization. Since its founding, it has brought eyesight to thousands of people and trained hundreds of doctors around the globe. The organization sends delegations of doctors and nurses to perform treatments and surgeries side by side with local medical teams in hospitals, clinics, and mobile treatment units. It also exchanges knowledge with local medical teams in modern medical techniques to enable them to continue to function independently. In June 2010, a team of Israeli ophthalmologists arrived in the Marshall Islands to perform cataract and vision surgery. The organization has developed a unique mobile eye surgery room, which is a revolution in eye surgery in developing countries, allowing surgeries to be performed for populations far from medical centers. Since 2013, a training model has been established for medical teams in developing countries, operating in several formats: traveling training coordinators, training in Israel, and conferences. Notable projects include the Save Sight 1000 project in Ethiopia, where four medical delegations conducted at least 1,000 sight-saving surgeries, and the Myanmar Initiative, which sent seven missions and trained a female doctor from Myanmar in Israel. The organization continues to operate as a non-profit NGO.
