IOLLA & ORBIS

how the partnership came to be

In 2016, we began supporting Orbis to achieve their mission towards eradicating avoidable blindness. It was the organisation's focus on sustainability that appealed most to us, and we wanted to be a part of their mission. Since then, we have developed an ongoing relationship and were lucky enough to be invited down to London when their Flying Eye Hospital stopped off there to visit the plane and meet the incredibly hard working team on-board.

We are proud to continue our support and spread the word to the IOLLA community, bringing you information on Orbis's cause and the REACH project.
