About the Gift of Sight Trust

The Gift of Sight Trust, a registered Non- profit organisation was formed in 2015 by Dr Johann Krüger and Marinda de Vos with the aim of prevention and treatment of avoidable blindness in people who are unable to afford Private Health Care or have been waiting for years for treatment at Public Health Care facilities.

The Gift of Sight activities revolves around trying to reduce the backlog in cataract and retinal surgeries in South Africa, a global initiative for the elimination of avoidable blindness, a programme of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB).

“A world in which nobody is needlessly visually impaired, where those with unavoidable vision loss can achieve their full potential., with universal access to comprehensive eye care services.”
