@bbcworldservice In Europe and the US >88% of people who need glasses have them. In low income countries glasses coverage rates are 3-15%. Imagine 1 billion people globally can’t see to earn, learn and be safe.

"Now I work with glasses - I can see everything and I work much faster." Around the world, a billion people need eyeglasses but don't have them 👓

@devex @SeeChange4all Handheld refractive devices are here and costs are coming down. And patient/customer-lead diagnosis are on the horizon

Q2: Eye health telemedicine has gained speed during the pandemic. What other innovative trends or changes should we expect in eye health as a result of COVID-19?

@AstridBonfield @devex @SeeChange4all My two favorites: 1) Eyeglasses coverage rates (which tells us progress toward universal coverage for those needing vision correction with glasses) and 2) First-time wearer rates (which tells us how fast we are getting there by reaching previously unserved people)
English
@devex @SeeChange4all A3: As a funder, equity is the goal. We will measure not what is easy, but what matters. If we only measure success through the numbers screened or treated, this inequity could remain invisible. We can't achieve #UniversalHealthCoverage if we don’t know who we’re missing.
English
Q3: A recent report found that women and people with disabilities have less access to critical eye care. How can we help improve access for these groups?

Delighted to share we reached 1 million people across India in 2019 with the wonder of clear vision by creating easy access to vision screening camps and providing eyeglasses. Over 3.8 million people in India now see well with VisionSpring eyeglasses since its inception.

Thank you @NewMngPort for your partnership!
In the program assessment, 25% of #drivers couldn't see road signs at 20-30 meters, and failed to meet the standard required for a driver’s license.
#Eyeglasses make roads safer for all. Inviting allies to join us!
