ORBIS International 2011 ANNUAL REPORT saving sight worldwide “I cannot express in one word, without vision there is nothing at all.” — Ayana Tsega, 24, Gondar, Ethiopia

Through ORBIS training, Ayana became one of his country’s ﬁrst optometrists. He now leads the ORBIS-supported optometry program at Gondar University, from which 37 new practitioners graduated in 2010. Photo: ORBIS Photo: Photo: Raul Vasquez Photo: Dear Friends, In an often unstable world, the steadily expanding work of ORBIS has been a beacon of hope for millions of people confronting the threat of preventable blindness. By maximizing efficiency and impact of core programs, we enable partner countries and institutions to increase their capacity to prevent and treat the leading causes of vision loss. Even more, we empower doctors, nurses, biomedical engineers and others to deliver vision care of the highest quality, fulfilling their own dreams to prevent and cure blindness. Fiscal year 2010 highlights include expanding pediatric eye care in Ethiopia, India, South Africa and Zambia, where we delivered training and equipment to some of the world’s poorest communities. In doing so, we treated or provided needed eye care services to thousands of children. And for the first time, ORBIS is responding to the immense unmet need for pediatric eye care in sub-Saharan Africa, working with regional experts, local groups and other vision and development agencies to ensure that no child is consigned to a life in darkness. By keeping our focus on the best use of our Flying Eye Hospital, country and hospital- based programs and Cyber-Sight ®, ORBIS leverages our unique array of assets to achieve the most important goals of all: fewer blind people today, hope for millions more tomorrow.

The Flying Eye Hospital conducted eight programs in 2010, including its first visit to Indonesia since the DC-8 aircraft’s inaugural year in 1982. During a combined 3.5 week medical program in both Jakarta and Surabaya, 38 eye care professionals from local hospitals received hands-on surgical training, with special emphasis on ocular oncology and reconstructive plastic surgery.

In the WInGS The current DC-10 aircraft, the second incarnation of the Flying Eye Hospital, has been in service since 1992. Its successor, an MD-10 generously donated by FedEx, is undergoing an extensive conversion utilizing a first- of-its-kind modular design concept, which will drastically reduce cost while increasing medical capacity. This next-generation Flying Eye Hospital will be more efficient and have a longer range than its predecessor and will serve ORBIS for the next two decades or longer.

SOcIAl ReleVAnce In 2010, ORBIS continued to build its social media platforms to connect donors, doctors, interested parties and myriad others to program news, capacity advances, events and other organizational information, including the powerful human stories that are the true defini - tion of our impact.

PuBlIc VISIBIlItY Key to ORBIS’s mission is public education and wide-scale understanding of the scope of the world’s blindness challenge and the steadily increasing resources and advances with which to eliminate it. The ORBIS Flying Eye Hospital is a frequent object of media attention, but it is ORBIS people—dedicated Volunteer Faculty, aspiring local doctors in training, visionary in-country partners—who inspire the most moving reports.
