Flying Eyes Partners with Orbis International to Support Global Vision

At Flying Eyes, we’re passionate about aviation, innovation, and, most importantly, clear vision. That’s why we’re beyond proud to announce our new sponsorship of Orbis International, an organization dedicated to fighting avoidable blindness around the world.

Orbis is a global non-profit that operates the MD-10 Flying Eye Hospital, a state-of-the-art teaching facility and surgical center built into a wide-body aircraft. This one-of-a-kind flying hospital allows volunteer doctors to perform life-changing eye surgeries while also training local medical professionals in cutting-edge ophthalmic care. By combining aviation and medical expertise, Orbis provides sustainable solutions to vision loss in underserved communities across the globe.

Equipping the Orbis Crew with Flying Eyes Eyewear

Flying Eyes is honored to provide our ultra-light, headset-compatible sunglasses and prescription eyewear to the incredible flight crew and volunteers of the Flying Eye Hospital. Whether they’re piloting the MD-10, performing delicate surgeries, or teaching the next generation of eye care professionals, optical clarity and all-day comfort are a must—and that’s exactly what our eyewear delivers.

Our glasses are designed with thin temples that fit seamlessly under headsets and feature shatterproof lenses with superior optical clarity, making them the perfect companion for both pilots and medical professionals who need to focus on what truly matters: restoring sight and changing lives.

Supporting a Worthy Cause

Orbis International is consistently recognized for its exceptional transparency and efficiency, with nearly every dollar donated going directly toward their mission. Their work has helped millions of people regain their vision, empowering individuals and communities worldwide.

By partnering with Orbis, we’re not just supporting an aviation-based medical charity—we’re investing in a world where everyone has access to quality eye care.

Join Us in the Mission

We’re incredibly excited about this partnership and invite you to learn more about Orbis International’s inspiring work.
