Orbis UK has named Tosh Vadhia, head of global accounts at Heidelberg Engineering, as a new ambassador for the charity.

The charity noted that Vadhia has played a key role in building and strengthening the partnership between Orbis and Heidelberg Engineering since its inception in 2023.

“With over 20 years in the eye care sector, he has used his experience and international network to help eye care teams work more effectively and reach more patients,” the charity shared, adding that Vadhia’s support has created opportunities for clinicians to learn and connect.

Heidelberg Engineering has helped to fund training opportunities for eye care professionals around the world through Orbis’s e-learning platform, Cybersight, and the company also supports research by Orbis into retinoblastoma.

Commenting on his appointment, Vadhia said: “I’m honoured to be appointed as an Orbis UK ambassador, and to support their vital work in ending avoidable blindness worldwide.”

“As an ambassador, I look forward to strengthening Heidelberg Engineering’s support, engaging in Orbis’s campaigns, and raising awareness of the importance of eye care globally,” he said.

Earlier in 2025, Orbis and Heidelberg Engineering announced an expanded partnership to make training and resources more accessible to eye care professionals around the world.

Heidelberg Engineering helped to deliver four additional Cybersight webinars in 2025 on topics including diagnosing eye conditions, such as glaucoma, and improving surgical techniques.

The collaboration also includes a new clinical project in Lusaka, Zambia, where Heidelberg Engineering will deploy its Anterion imaging system to support pre-operative eye scans.

Welcoming Vadhia in his new role as Orbis ambassador, Rebecca Cronin, Orbis UK CEO, said: “Tosh has been helping to bring vital training and resources to eye care professionals in low- and middle-income countries. His commitment to leveraging technology and education to improve patient outcomes aligns perfectly with Orbis’s mission.”

“As an ambassador, Tosh will play an important role in our campaigns and initiatives, helping to inspire, support, and ensure more clinicians around the world have the knowledge and the tools they need to save sight,” Cronin continued.
