Membership

Be part of the global alliance for the eye health sector. Only through collective action will we achieve the systemic change that is needed to improve the lives of over a billion people.

IAPB membership is open to not-for-profit and for-profit organisations working across and within eye health. IAPB members range from international charities, eye hospitals and academic institutes through to professional bodies and corporates. On behalf of this diverse and unique mix of organisations, we provide a powerful, unified, and trusted voice to end avoidable sight loss.
