You may have seen our story about regional eye care. Thank you for taking the next step and learning more.

Like us, you care about people in regional and remote NSW — and when it comes to eye care, urgency and distance don’t always mix. Delays can change lives.

Bob, 55, lives remotely. A sudden eye emergency threatened both his sight and his life. An urgent transfer to Sydney Eye Hospital stabilised his condition — but serious damage left him temporarily blind in one eye, unable to work, and needing ongoing specialist care to save his sight.

For patients like Bob, distance, travel costs and rising living expenses can be the biggest barrier to care.

Your donation helps remove that barrier.

Your support provides:

• Transport to specialist eye care
• Accommodation close to treatment
• Help when care can’t wait

Because of generous donors, Bob has been able to return for vital appointments and continue his journey toward restoring his sight.

This tax time, you can help ensure where someone lives doesn’t determine whether they keep their sight.

“Without help with travel and accommodation, I wouldn’t have got there. A massive thank you.” — Bob
