Equal parts teacher, envoy and advocate, the Flying Eye Hospital not only provides a platform to train doctors, but also serves as a powerful machine for raising awareness, creating change and bringing local governments and global organisations, major donors and everyday people, together in the global fight to end blindness. It features a state-of-the-art, fully accredited eye hospital with technology that can transmit live surgeries around the world in 3D. The Flying Eye Hospital is the world’s only ophthalmic teaching hospital onboard an MD-10 aircraft. This updated jumbo jet serves as the newest Flying Eye Hospital and is equipped to perform the latest and most advanced eye care operations. Orbis proudly launched its brand new MD-10 aircraft. With the unveiling of a brand new plane, the future is looking very bright. With so much success so far, the partnership between OMEGA and Orbis is set to continue for many years to come. Proceeds of their sales are earmarked for the organisation, giving customers a chance to select a fine OMEGA wristwatch and, at the same time, know that they are supporting a fantastic cause. Three OMEGA De Ville Prestige watches have been created especially for the cause. In 2015, a series of print advertising featuring Nicole Kidman, Cindy Crawford, Chad le Clos, Michael Phelps and Sergio Garcia was released to highlight the work of Orbis and celebrate World Sight Day on October 8 th.Īs well as raising awareness through film and advertising, OMEGA supports Orbis in several other ways, including the provision of teddy bears to young patients and the donation of vital funds. Other OMEGA brand ambassadors have backed this incredible partnership too. The film proved to be such an effective tool in raising awareness of Orbis International’s life-changing eye care, that a new documentary, The Hospital in the Sky, was produced in 2015, this time featuring long-time OMEGA brand ambassador Cindy Crawford, who visited the Flying Eye Hospital with her daughter in Peru. The partnership with OMEGA began with an insightful documentary called Through Their Eyes, and followed OMEGA brand ambassador Daniel Craig on his visit to the Flying Eye Hospital in Mongolia. Not only has it performed millions of medical and optical treatments on board its Flying Eye Hospital, the organisation is also dedicated to training new eye care professionals who can continue the great work in the visited locations. Since 2011, OMEGA has been a proud supporter of Orbis International, a non-profit organisation dedicated to treating avoidable blindness in some of the world’s most remote regions.įounded in 1982, Orbis International has successfully carried out programmes in more than 90 countries across the globe. I highly respect the dedication and commitment of OMEGA and the Orbis project. OMEGA, as an international brand with a brilliant reputation, is well aware of their duty to support and help others. So you can trust me, I’m already working on other charity projects, hopefully we’ll be able to present them beginning of 2017. And I personally believe, we must work hard an help as much as we can. Even more, it is important to help and to support others. Life is good here and we’re far away from hunger, pain, war or diseases. Here in Switzerland, we’re living an amazing life with no boundaries and limits.
