PEOPLE GLOBALLY LIVING WITH VISION IMPAIRMENT
The Global Challenge
Good vision is the cornerstone of education and quality of life. Yet, almost 2.2 billion people worldwide have a vision impairment, a reality driven by a critical shortage of trained eye health workers. We believe unconventional, technology-driven strategies are essential to overcome these barriers and prevent avoidable blindness.
