2030 In Sight: the future of global eye health

Abstract

There are 1.1 billion people around the world living with the consequences of sight loss, mostly because they do not have access to eye care services and assistive products. Most people affected by sight loss live in low- and middle-income settings with sight loss due to avoidable causes. Women and girls, aging populations and the most vulnerable people are disproportionately affected by sight loss. Without change, this will rise to 1.8 billion people by 2050 [ 1 ].
