Cure Blindness Project has launched its 2026 Holiday Gift Catalog, offering donors an opportunity to support vision-restoring surgeries, eye examinations, ophthalmologist training, and blindness prevention programs in underserved communities worldwide.

The catalog features charitable gifts at various price points, many under $100, with proceeds supporting the organization's efforts to expand access to quality eye care in more than 30 countries across South Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, and South America.

Among the available options, donors can sponsor eye examinations for 10 children for $20. Additional contributions support ophthalmology residency programs, clinical training, surgical outreach initiatives, postoperative care, and investments in eye care infrastructure and equipment.

The catalog also includes opportunities to fund blindness prevention programs focused on addressing avoidable vision impairment and promoting eye health education.

"Every gift in this catalog has the power to change a life by restoring sight, strengthening communities, and creating lasting change," said K-T Overbey, CEO of Cure Blindness Project. "Know that any gift you choose will create a ripple that will touch countless lives."

According to the organization, a recent study found that every $1 invested in eye health can generate a $28 return in low- and middle-income countries, highlighting the potential economic benefits of improving access to vision care. Beyond providing direct patient services, Cure Blindness Project emphasizes developing sustainable eye care systems through professional training, infrastructure improvements, and local capacity building.

Donors receive an electronic gift card with each purchase, while traditional cards are available upon request.
