Vision Action

Who we are

We work in low- and middle-income countries, supporting national governments to deliver and strengthen their eye health strategies.

We work in partnership with local governments, civil society organisations, international and national NGOs, and the private sector.

Our ambition is to increase equitable access to eye care services and glasses, and accelerate achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals for no poverty; good health and wellbeing; quality education; gender equality; decent work and economic growth; reduced inequalities; and strengthening partnerships for the goals.

Our ten-year strategy is driven by the need for universal health coverage and integrated people-centred eye care, as proposed by the WHO World Report on Vision 2019. Integrated people-centred eye care means providing quality eye care coordinated and delivered over the whole course of a person’s life.
