In the past, eye doctors and nurses in poor countries could not study outside their own countries because they didn’t have money to travel and pay for their schools. Dr David Paton was a famous eye doctor in America. He knew that more than 60 percent of blind people are in poor countries. It is important to train eye doctors and nurses in these poor countries to cure their patients. So in the mid-1970s, he set up ORBIS.

United Airlines(联合航空公司)donated a DC-8 plane to ORBIS. There was new medical equipment(设备) inside the plane. It is not a common hospital. It is a flying eye hospital. The plane started to fly to different poor countries in 1982. The eye doctors and nurses on the plane taught the local doctors new skills and knowledge. They also did operations together to cure patients with eye problems in poor countries.

In 1992, three generous people donated more money to ORBIS. With their donations, ORBIS bought a new plane, DC-10. The inside of the plane is twice the size of DC-8. Its first trip was to go to Beijing, China in 1994.

A lot of people suffer from blindness. The ORBIS doctors found the 80 percent of blindness in poor countries can be cured or prevented. So it also carries out special programmes to teach people how to prevent eye problems.

To blind people, ORBIS brings new hope and light. Over the past 30 years, ORBIS has successfully helped 130,000 people around the world. To those who can see, ORBIS is something we can be proud of.
