Giving Vision a Voice

Mission

Our mission is to raise awareness about the importance of vision correction and protection to make good vision a global priority.

Strategy

• • Be the voice of vision by gathering and communicating pertinent information to all stakeholders, including government policy makers, optical industry associates and the general public, to mobilize a worldwide movement on healthy vision.
  • Offer a unique database of global peer reviewed reports and studies to build evidence on the need for vision correction and protection.
  • Engage key opinion leaders worldwide to build coalitions, partnerships, and collaborations to put healthy vision on the global agenda.
  • Empower advocates for action (eye screening, eye examination, provision of optical correction, policy change) to improve the lives of people around the world.
