Vision

253 million people are blind or have moderate to severe distance vision impairment (MSVI)
1.1 billion have near-vision impairment simply because they don’t have a pair of glasses
>75% of all blindness and MSVI is avoidable
89% of people with visual impairment live in developing countries

We have a long history of serving the blind and visually impaired, and remain committed to continuing this mission into our next century of service.

Our Strategic Objective is to prevent avoidable blindness and improve quality of life for people who are blind and visually impaired.
