Restoring Sight.
Transforming Lives.

Our cataract outreaches are held at central community locations — churches, county government hospitals and social halls — making screening accessible to those who cannot travel to the city.

Community members receive free eye screening at the camps. Those identified with cataracts benefit from subsidised surgical interventions, often on the same day or within days.

A cataract is an opacity of the natural eye lens that can lead to blindness if left untreated. It is treatable through a straightforward surgical procedure when caught early.

Our cataract outreaches are made possible through the generous support of the Fred Hollows Foundation and the CEH Foundation. Each camp also includes community eye health awareness forums on causes, symptoms and treatment.

• Free cataract screening for all attendees
• Subsidised surgery arranged within days
• Post-operative follow-up care included
• Health education sessions at every camp

City Eye Hospital partners with organisations to bring world-class eye care directly to their staff, holding eye health outreaches at their office premises.

During the outreach, staff members receive a comprehensive briefing on CEH's services, on-site eye screening, and treatment where possible. Those needing specialist care are referred to our facilities.

• On-site eye screening for all staff
• Personalised eye health advice
• Prescription glasses referral support
• Group rates for follow-up consultations
• Branded eye health awareness materials

Our diabetic retinopathy outreach programme operates in partnership with county government health facilities and Non-Communicable Disease (NCD) Clinics across Kenya.

All diabetic patients at partner NCD Clinics are screened using our CEH-commissioned Fundus Camera — a non-invasive, highly accurate method for detecting diabetic eye disease at its earliest stages.

Early diagnosis is critical: diabetic eye disease often causes no pain or visible symptoms until significant damage has occurred. When caught early, treatment can prevent blindness entirely.

• Non-invasive Fundus Camera imaging
• Immediate results and counselling
• Urgent referral pathway for those with complications
• Ongoing monitoring for stable patients
• Education on diabetes management and eye health

Every CEH Foundation outreach camp includes a community eye health education forum. Our ophthalmologists and optometrists engage directly with community members to raise awareness about preventable blindness.

Topics covered include the causes, symptoms and treatment of the most common eye conditions in Kenya:

• Cataracts — what they are and how surgery restores sight
• Glaucoma — the silent cause of blindness, and why early screening matters
• Diabetic retinopathy — protecting sight when living with diabetes
• Refractive errors — when glasses or contact lenses make the difference
• Children's eye health — signs parents should watch for

We distribute printed materials in Swahili and English, and engage community health workers to sustain awareness between camps.
