Over 1.1 billion people worldwide live with sight loss, yet 90% of it is treatable or preventable. This World Sight Day, we’re coming together to create a world where everyone has access to the eye care they need to thrive.
Conditions like glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and cataracts can be treated or prevented if caught early, yet millions still suffer unnecessarily. Orbis and the global eye health community work to share skills, strengthen local care, and stop avoidable blindness for generations to come.
World Sight Day, led by the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness, reminds us all why eye health matters, for children, adults, and communities everywhere.
