ORBIS’s Flying Eye Hospital in Phnom Penh, Cambodia
At Artifact Digital, our business essentially plays a role in fueling the world of visual design and digital interaction. And in this imaginative field, strong eyesight plays a pivotal role in allowing individuals to interpret visible light information from their surrounding environment. In turn, this visual perception informs their thinking, actions and reactions… and can be a source of laughter.
Without strong vision, a person’s ability to cope with his or her environment can be severely limited. In many countries people are blessed with access to quality eye care. However, in developing countries, where access to quality eye care can be limited to nonexistent, the conversation is altogether different. In these countries, blindness, oftentimes preventable, directly impacts a person’s quality of life and their life expectancy.
According to the World Health Organization, an estimated 1.4 million children are needlessly blind.*
It is with this in mind and our desire to be good global citizens that Artifact Digital has partnered with ORBIS International. ORBIS is an international non-profit non-governmental organization (NGO) dedicated to saving sight worldwide. Their programs focus on the prevention of blindness and the treatment of blinding eye diseases in developing countries.*
In working with ORBIS, Artifact Digital gives back as advocates for the awareness of preventable blindness and we provide quarterly financial contributions to support the preventative work and medical procedures which ORBIS continually performs around the globe. Our donations directly impact the vision and quality of life of many.
Since 1982, ORBIS capacity-building programs have enhanced the skills of more than 288,000 eye care personnel and provided eye care treatment to more than 15 million people in 89 countries.*
