Photo Exhibition

April 7 to May 2, 2025
Pendulum Gallery
885 West Georgia Street
Vancouver, BC, Canada

What do people want to see most when they regain their sight?
“Love at First Sight” offers an intimate answer—through the eyes of former patients who captured what they missed most.

This exhibition features photos by our Tanzanian and Nepali eye care patients after their sight was restored with cataract surgery or glasses. Each photographer was handed a camera and asked to capture what they missed seeing most.

These moving images celebrate universal human values and the simple pleasures of family, friends, and the beauty in our daily lives.
Proceeds from print sales will go directly toward providing sight-restoring care in underserved communities.

Vision is one of life’s greatest gifts.
Here’s your chance to give it.

We focus on sight because it’s solvable: 90% of vision loss can be prevented or treated.

Since 1982, Seva donors have given the power of sight to more than 5 million people through life-changing surgeries and provided eye care services to millions more.

Charity Intelligence named Seva Canada one of the Top 100 Highest Rated Charities in 2024, for the eight consecutive year.
