Wills Eyes Organization

Established on behalf of victims of violence throughout the world, the Eyes on Humanity Fund at Wills Eye Hospital was inspired by the incredible and heartbreaking story of Raheleh, a victim of violence in Iran and now a patient at Wills Eye.

After Raheleh was shot in the right eye at close range during a Woman, Life, Freedom demonstration, she spent a year seeking international ophthalmic care before coming to Philadelphia for consultation and treatment at Wills Eye – and undergoing a complicated combined cornea and retina surgery to restore her vision.

The Eyes on Humanity Fund will support care for patients like Raheleh, whose vision might otherwise have been irreparably lost.

With thanks due to a generous community of donors for their personal and philanthropic support of this project, the Eyes on Humanity Fund will create a model for ophthalmic assistance for victims of eye injuries.
