Billion People
Affected
Worldwide

Over a billion people around the world are living with vision loss, most due to preventable or treatable causes. It doesn't have to be that way. 

80% Preventable

Most cases of blindness and visual
impairment cases are preventable or
treatable, often with simple interventions.

Lack of Access

90% of affected individuals lack access to basic eye care services, making them more vulnerable to preventable blindness.

Successful Interventions

Cataract surgery or a simple pair of glasses have been shown to provide significant positive impacts on quality of life.
