Do you remember when you had your last eye exam? If you can’t, don’t worry, you’re not alone. 52% of Americans say they haven’t had their eyes checked in the last year.
Whether you struggle with vision issues or not, routine eye exams are so important. Did you know that many eye conditions can be diagnosed and prevented with a simple eye exam?
Eye diseases are common and can go unnoticed for a long time, and a staggering 90% of all vision loss is treatable or preventable if detected early enough. For many of us in the United States, routine eye exams are not hard to access.
But more than 1 billion people worldwide lack eye care and the routine eye exams necessary for their overall health. At Orbis, we’re dedicated to ensuring no one goes needlessly blind—especially when it can be diagnosed and prevented with a simple eye exam.
Orbis has been a pioneer in the prevention and treatment of blindness for more than 40 years. With long-term projects around the world, we have trained hundreds of thousands of eye care professionals over the past four decades—changing the way the world sees.
Gratefully,
Team Orbis
