On October 9, the global eye care community will come together to raise awareness about preventable blindness and vision loss. This year, Orbis is shining a spotlight on the urgent need to save sight and encouraging everyone to love their eyes, no matter where they are!
With your support through this incredible opportunity, we can continue to restore vision and create lasting eye care solutions for communities across the globe.
But there’s still more work to be done. Despite 90% of vision impairments being treatable or preventable, over 1 billion people still live with avoidable sight loss, including over 90 million children and adolescents. Yet, the solution for many preventable eye problems is out of reach.
