Around the world,

1.1 billion

people are living with vision loss.

90%

of vision loss is in low- and - middle income countries.

90%

of all vision loss is preventable or treatable.

Loss of sight can have devastating consequences on individuals, families, communities and entire countries.

Why is blindness so prevalent in developing countries? There are many causes, including poverty, inadequate access to clean water and malnutrition. In parts of the world where it’s a struggle to simply survive, many people have neither a healthy living environment nor access to affordable medical care. If living conditions threaten sight, it’s often impossible to prevent or treat vision loss. People who live in India, Africa and South America are five to 10 times more likely to go blind than those living in developed countries.

There is good news: an astonishing 90 percent of blindness can be prevented or cured.

This is what is known as “avoidable blindness.” With your generous support, we can end avoidable blindness!
