By contrast, did YOU know that … 90% of all blind people live in low income countries. Only 10% of all blind children will be educated leaving the majority of blind children to grow up illiterate and with poor job prospects.

80% of all visual impairment is avoidable by prevention, treatment or cure …. when available Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness, but most cataracts can be surgically removed and sight restored. Blindness via glaucoma, leads to permanent blindness if not caught early enough to intervene with proper medication Source: Action Plan for the Prevention of Avoidable Blindness and Visual Impairment, WHO
