Read the statement on Vision written on the recent WHO report.

Quoting the recent WHO’s World report on Vision: “The most dominant of our senses plays a critical role in every facet and stage of our lives. We take vision for granted, but without vision, we struggle to learn to walk, to read, to participate in school, and to work. Vision impairment occurs when an eye condition affects the visual system and one or more of its vision functions. Vision impairment has serious consequences for the individual across the life course. Many of these consequences can, however, be mitigated by timely access to quality eye care and rehabilitation. Eye conditions are remarkably common. Those who live long enough will experience at least one eye condition during their lifetime. Globally, at least 2.2 billion people have a vision impairment or blindness, of whom at least 1 billion have a vision impairment that could have been prevented or has yet to be addressed. Eye conditions that can cause vision impairment and blindness are, for good reasons, the main focus of prevention and other eye care strategies; nevertheless, the importance of eye conditions that do not typically cause vision impairment – such as dry eye and conjunctivitis – must not be overlooked. A range of effective strategies are available to address the needs associated with eye conditions and vision impairment across the life course. These include health promotion, prevention, treatment and rehabilitation strategies, some of which are among the most feasible and cost-effective of all health care interventions to implement” states the WHO report.
