Combat Blindness International

Combat Blindness International (CBI) was founded in 1984 by Suresh Chandra, MD, now a professor emeritus with the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health. CBI’s primary mission is to eliminate preventable blindness worldwide, particularly in low-income nations, by providing sustainable and equitable solutions for problems of sight through partnerships and innovation. CBI has always focused on reaching the most vulnerable populations worldwide, bringing quality, and equitable eye care to those with poor or no resources.
