Sightsavers eye health strategy: achieving quality eye health services for everyone

Sightsavers’ vision is of a world where no one is blind or visually impaired from avoidable causes, and equitable access to health care – including eye health care – is available to everyone.

However, the current reality is that 2.2 billion people around the world have a visual impairment, and almost half of those cases are preventable or treatable.

In this strategy, we set out Sightsavers’ plans to expand coverage of essential eye health services in the countries where we work; increase the scope and quality of eye health services; and support countries to ensure services are sustainable, resilient, and accessible and affordable to all.
