Our community engagement programs

The Fred Hollows Foundation

Specsavers has proudly supported The Fred Hollows Foundation NZ and its work in The Pacific since 2009. Millions of people around the world are needlessly blind because they can’t access care, and many of our Pacific neighbours are suffering the same fate. We are working with The Fred Hollows Foundation NZ to help eliminate avoidable blindness in The Pacific by making eye care more accessible and helping to build the local eye health workforce.

Gabi Hollows, Founder & Patron at The Fred Hollows Foundation says,

“The donations from Specsavers help fund eye health training programs at the Pacific Eye Institute in Fiji to tackle the massive shortage of eye care workers in the Pacific as well the operation costs of the Mobile Eye Clinic in Fiji. The Mobile Eye Clinic is a state of the art facility that travels to remote areas, providing eye tests and sight saving services such as cataract surgeries and diabetic retinopathy treatments.”
