Mission for Vision

Mission for Vision (MFV) continues to make a significant impact on eye health through its school eye health programme, Mission Roshni, which has now served over 1 million children in India. Through this intervention, MFV and its partners have conducted comprehensive eye screenings, provided child-friendly spectacles, generated greater awareness and facilitated timely referrals for further care. This achievement was made possible with the unwavering support of MFV’s partners and donors, ensuring that children in government and government-aided schools have easy access to quality eye care. #eyehealth #missionforvision #eyecare #visionforall #children
