#EyeHealthEquals
Show the world what eye health equals by spreading the word on social media.
We’ve got an ambitious vision for the future.
One billion people have a visual impairment that could have been prevented or could still be treated. By making eye health part of global development work, we’ll reduce inequality and help achieve the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
Watch the video below to find out more about our manifesto for change.

Accessibility tips
Get the biggest reach possible
- Use Twitter’s descriptive text functionality to describe images for people who are visually impaired.
- Keep links in full rather than scrambling them with a link shortener, so that users know where they are being directed to.
- If using video content with audio, add subtitles so that the video can be understood without sound.
If you have any questions about using this toolkit, please email socialmedia@sightsavers.org
