It's Hi-Vis Fortnight....every year we promote our services for visually impaired people!
Globally, at least 2.2 billion people have a near or distance vision impairment. For at least 1 billion of these people, vision impairment could have been prevented or is yet to be addressed.
Vision impairment can have serious consequences for the individual across the life course. Many of these consequences can be mitigated by timely access to quality eye care. Eye conditions that can cause vision impairment and blindness – such as cataract or refractive error – are the main focus of eye care strategies; nevertheless, the importance of eye conditions that do not typically cause vision impairment – such as dry eye or conjunctivitis – should not be overlooked. These conditions are frequently among the leading reasons for presentation to eye care services.
