The Cataract Institute: A Canadian Leader in Cataract Treatments

The Cataract Institute is an organization with a mission to support the healthcare network in Canada. By partnering with provincial health authorities, we strive to provide safe, effective, and timely eye surgeries that improve the lives of Canadians. We believe that all citizens—regardless of financial means, background, or geographic location—deserve equitable access to high-quality, timely surgical care.

Beyond surgical care, we are committed to educating and empowering patients with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their health. Our goal is to support and strengthen the healthcare system in Canada through collaboration, research, education, innovation, and community engagement. Equity, inclusivity, and access for all are at the heart of our mission. Through our efforts, we also seek to raise donations that will further enable our work to provide exceptional care for those in need.
