Worldwide, at least 2,2 billion people live with a visual impairment, but almost half of them have a vision impairment that could have been prevented or is yet to be addressed.
Refractive errors – e.g. myopia, hypermetropia or presbyopia – are the most common cause of vision impairment (49% of all visual impairment) and affect 949,7 million people globally. But they can be fully compensated for with the use of spectacles.
