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.
