Over 30 years after Fred Hollows led a team of eye health professionals into rural and remote Australia, a concerted effort has been made to ensure outback Australians can access the highest quality eye health care.

The Fred Hollows Foundation NZ works in the Pacific region, including Timor-Leste and Papua New Guinea, where over 80,000 people are blind, 70% due to cataract, and a further 240,000 suffer significant vision loss.

The Fred Hollows Foundation (UK) is funding Community Eye Centres in Okhaldhunga and Rolpa in Nepal, as well as eye care projects in Ethiopia, Rwanda and Kenya.
