Industry Experts Opinion

“We know that the burden of avoidable blindness is not equal. In 2021, we moved closer to addressing that inequality with the landmark UN Resolution on Vision, enshrining eye health as part of the Sustainable Development Goals. Now we have the WHO Eye Care Guide for Action, an exciting set of practical tools that will support effective eye health interventions in national health programs, and ensure people receive the care they need, when they need it, and where they need it.”

- Peter Holland, CEO of IAPB,

 “Education is a fundamental human right, but many children struggle to learn at school because of poor vision. Performance is affected if they are not given the educational support and the eye health care they need. Those in low and middle-income countries are disproportionately affected statistics show that children with sight loss are two to five times less likely to be in formal education.”

-Dr Caroline Harper, CEO of Sightsavers
