The problem

Millions Live In Preventable Blindness.

Cataracts and other treatable conditions take sight from people who cannot reach the cure. Not because medicine has failed them. Because distance, poverty, and missing infrastructure have.

The scale

2.2B

Live With Vision Loss

2.2 billion people worldwide live with a vision impairment or blindness.

Preventable

1B+

Cases Are Treatable

At least 1 billion of those cases could have been prevented or are still treatable.

No access

50%

Of Treatable Cases Have No Access To Eye Care

In many regions, half the people who need cataract surgery cannot get to treatment.
