Strengthening the eye care workforce.
To strengthen eye care workforce capacity in low- and middle-income countries through accessible clinical and public health education, in service of resilient, equitable health systems.
Building stronger local eye care systems.
A world where underserved communities are supported by a well-trained, self-sustaining local eye care workforce, eliminating avoidable visual impairment.
PEOPLE GLOBALLY LIVING WITH NEAR OR DISTANCE VISION IMPAIRMENT
Vision impairment affects people and communities across every region of the world, with the greatest challenges concentrated where access to eye care and clinical education remains limited.
The challenge is not only vision. It's access.
Millions of people who need eye care do not have access to the services, professionals, resources and knowledge required to prevent avoidable vision impairment.
GOI focuses on strengthening the people and systems that deliver eye care — particularly in low- and middle-income countries.
Building capacity where it matters most.
Sustainable eye care depends not only on technology and infrastructure, but also on people with access to quality education, practical knowledge and professional networks.
Geography should not determine access to clinical education.
Accessible online education can help reduce geographic and logistical barriers to professional development.
Stronger local workforces support sustainable health systems.
GOI focuses on strengthening eye-care workforce capacity through education, collaboration and practical resources.
Knowledge needs to translate into clinical practice.
