As a powerful advocate for the vision cause, a passionate campaigner for greater awareness and a pioneering innovator with solutions and styles that bring improvements to the delivery of vision care, we are dedicated to elevating the importance of good vision as both a basic human right and a key lever for global development. Following the launch of our groundbreaking roadmap "Eliminating Poor Vision in a Generation" at the UN General Assembly in 2019 with the support of more than 20 NGOs and leaders in eye health, we remain committed to advocating for the fundamental 'Right to See' recognizing its crucial role in global progress. This aligns with the 2021 UN resolution, 'Vision for Everyone', which unanimously aims to achieve global accessibility by 2030. The inclusion of eyecare in UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) supports the Group's own goals and sustainable actions to help eliminate poor vision in a generation.
Since 2013, the Group, along with its partners, has created permanent access to vision care for over 762 million people, equipping 71.8 million people in underserved regions with eyeglasses and creating rural livelihoods in vision care through 27,700 rural optical points.
