ABOUT GVF

Some blindness doesn’t have to be permanent.

Reversible blindness refers to vision loss that can potentially be treated or improved with the right diagnosis, treatment and timely care. For many people, however, the challenge isn’t whether treatment exists. It’s being able to reach and afford it. GVF works to close that gap, helping eligible patients access the diagnosis, treatment, surgery and essential care they need.
