Why Vision Matters
Vision is often taken for granted, yet it's one of our most precious senses. Consider these facts:
-
Over 2.2 billion people worldwide have vision impairment, and at least 1 billion cases could have been prevented or are yet to be addressed.
-
80% of all vision impairment globally is considered avoidable through prevention or treatment.
-
Uncorrected vision problems can lead to reduced quality of life, learning difficulties, loss of independence, and economic hardship.
-
In developing countries, access to basic eye care services is often limited or nonexistent.
At Sight The World, we believe everyone deserves the gift of sight regardless of where they live or their economic status.
