HelpMeSee 助視會

HelpMeSee is a US-based, international nonprofit organisation making great strides every year toward our goal of eliminating cataract-caused vision loss and blindness. More than 100 million people suffer from cataracts,20 million bilaterally blind, 90 percent of them living in the developing countries in Asia, Africa and South America where we work -- countries where there may be just one ophthalmologist per million residents, or none.

 

In just the past six years, working with more than 300 surgery partners and community health professionals, HelpMeSee has developed readiness standards and tools for surgery practice including patient safety and quality outcome. This resulted in sight-restoring surgeries for more than 250,000 people who had otherwise no hope.

 

At present, HelpMeSee is well on our way to introducing the leading edge, virtual-reality surgery simulator to train 30,000 cataract specialists, while simultaneously reducing the risks of surgery, and providing access to sight-saving cataract surgeries at a most affordable cost.

助視會是一間始創於美國的國際非牟利機構,成立以來,我們每年都朝著「消除白內障所引起的視力減退或失明」的目標堅定地前行。

 

據統計,全球約有一億多人罹患白內障,約兩千萬患者甚至雙目失明,其中有90%的患者生活在亞洲、非洲和南美洲的發展中國家,這些國家的每百萬人口可能僅一名眼科醫生甚至一個都沒有,而那裡正是我們組織所致力工作的地方。

 

在過去的六年中,助視會與三百多位外科合作夥伴和社區衛生專業人員共同努力,創立了兼顧患者安全和手術質控的眼科手術規範及工具,直接幫助超過25萬名患者的復明手術,讓他們重新燃起生命的希望。

 

目前,助視會推出了高科技的仿真手術模擬設備,以期培訓三萬名白內障手術專科醫生,並降低手術風險,以最實惠的成本為白內障患者實施復明手術。
