The Wills Eye Center for Academic Global Ophthalmology (CAGO) is dedicated to leadership in ophthalmology by bridging the gaps in education, research, and clinical care that exist across the globe in an effort to prevent blindness worldwide.

Wills Eye has long been a global leader in the prevention and treatment of blindness.

Through our Center for Academic Global Ophthalmology, we have sharpened our focus on the pressing needs of the millions of patients lacking access to high quality eye care.

GLOBAL PARTNERS

Wills Eye is extremely fortunate to have identified dedicated international ophthalmologists and organizations who are up to this challenge.

"MY PASSION IS TO EDUCATE AND EQUIP THE NEXT GENERATION OF AFRICAN PHYSICIANS TO MEET THE CHALLENGES OF THEIR WORLD AND TO PASS ON WHAT THEY HAVE LEARNED TO THOSE WHO COME AFTER THEM."
