Quoting "Edhat Santa Barbara", 17 July 2009:
"In 1974 local [from
Santa Barbara] ophthalmologist Dr. Harry S Brown, M.D., created SEE
International with a few colleagues and donated surgical supplies from Alcon
because he believed that with the right support, a small group of skilled eye
surgeons could transform the lives of thousands. He was right. SEE has grown
into a global humanitarian organization with a network of over 600 affiliated
ophthalmologists who have restored sight to over 370,000 worldwide. In 2009, SEE
International will hold clinics in over 35 countries, increasing the number of
lives transformed by sight-restoring surgery by about 10,000.
[...]
The
SEE International flag depicts a blue background with the organization's logo
and the word SEE. SEE International's unique logo is based on the design of the
rod of Aesculapius, the god of medicine and healing. Situated atop the staff is
the symbol of an eye with the ideogram of the planet Earth inside it, reflecting
SEE International's mission to provide sight restoring surgeries worldwide."
