Our Story

Bringing the gift of sight to Karen communities.

The Dr. Nay Hser Foundation was established with a simple but powerful vision: to ensure that every Karen person in Karen State has access to quality eye care, regardless of where they live or their financial circumstances.

For families in rural and conflict-affected areas, preventable blindness is often caused not by untreatable disease, but by distance, poverty and limited access to healthcare. We exist to bridge that gap.

Story of Hope

A grandmother sees her family again.

For several years, an elderly grandmother from a remote Karen village gradually lost her vision due to cataracts. When the Mobile Eye Mission visited her village, she received surgery that restored her sight.

“I thought darkness would be with me for the rest of my life. Today, I can see my family again.”
