Activities & Mission

Vision Action aims to transform access to eyecare in developing countries. 670 million people worldwide are visually impaired because they do not have access to spectacles, due to the lack of eyecare services available in low income countries.Our work focuses on improving the lives of people marginalised by poor eyesight and is motivated by a belief that good vision should be a right for all
