We are a registered charity dedicated to providing eyecare services to those without the funds necessary or without access to proper care. We exist because of the hardwork and dedication of hundreds of volunteers and thousands of hours of fundraising, since 1981.
CVC is proud to have created a structure where the 3 O's (Optometry, Ophthalmology and Opticianry) work together to deliver thorough, comprehensive and integrated care in the developing world.
All of our work is funded, through private donations and through our partner eyecare organizations.
Who We Are....
Some Of Our Projects...
"The SEEcan"
Canadian Vision Care supporters, led by Dr. Allan Jones of Calgary. Created a 'pop-up' clinic in a seacan and sent it to Malawi. The container was filled with eye care equipment, furniture, windows, flooring, everything needed to create a permanent eyecare clinic. Within days of its arrival, the clinic was up and running - serving patients.
It even contained a collection of bicycles to be used by optometry students to get to where they needed to go.
