CAUSES OF BLINDNESS
Diabetes related eye diseases are major causes of blindness in South Pacific Islands. There is an explosion of type II diabetes amongst polynesians. In American Samoa, prevelance rate for diabetes is 25-30%.

Respective Governments, NGOs and funding agencies are not prepared to combat against these problems. Resources are scare/limited due to the remoteness of their locations and blinding situations are getting worse.

Since 1966 the NOOR Eye Program has offered comprehensive eye care in Afghanistan.  Initially based in Kabul and Herat, this program has expanded many other areas of the country and includes both curative hospital based care as well as primary/preventative initiatives in under served areas.
