About Mission for Vision (MFV) (www.missionforvision.org.in):

- Mission for Vision (MFV) is a not-for-profit organisation established in the year 2000 to eradicate avoidable blindness through the enablement of high quality, comprehensive and equitable eye care. The organisation was founded on the philosophy of Caring Capitalism-, rooted in the belief that an individual should give a portion of generated wealth to the communities from which they have benefitted. Blindness is largely a consequence of poverty and people with visual impairment are more likely to become economically challenged if eye care is inaccessible. The certainty that eradicating avoidable blindness enhances productivity and leads to social and economic equality powered MFV to provide the underprivileged communities with access to quality eye health care at their doorsteps. Today, MFV works in 21 Indian states with leading eye health partners. MFV and its partners have enabled interventions to 17.63+ million people and 2.66+ million eye surgeries, at no cost to the patient. MFV has also contributed towards the establishment of 19 leading charitable eye centres in India. MFV has also enabled the establishment of 110+ Vision Centres (VCs). During 2021-22, MFV along with its partners has enabled over 531,200 eye health interventions and provided over 145,900 eye surgeries at no cost to the patient.

Vision : To restore the gift of vision to every visually impaired human being, irrespective of nationality, religion or socio-economic status.
