Eye Care Foundation (ECF) is an international charity organisation active in over 20 countries in Asia,[4] Africa[5][6] and Latin-America.

Eyecare Worldwide (1984) was founded by a Dutch ophthalmologist who was moved by the plight of the high number of people who suffered from blindness that could be cured or even prevented.

Eye Care Foundation has offices and hospitals in the Himalayan region (Nepal), Southeast Asia (Vietnam,[9] Cambodia, Laos), Africa (Tanzania)[10] and Latin-America (Suriname, Ecuador).

ECF has instituted eye care services for groups such as ethnic minorities, people with disabilities, and women and children.

[16] ECF supports the Ministry of Health on two locations: MUHAS University in Dar Es Salaam and Morogoro Region.

Initially, the foundation was involved in organising eye camps operated by Dutch ophthalmologists and nurses, helping to treat as many cataract patients as possible.
