Sightsavers vision and eye care strategy: clear vision and quality eye care for all

Sightsavers’ vision and eye care strategy aims to tackle the global vision crisis by ensuring equitable access to high-quality, inclusive and sustainable vision and eye care services.

With more than one billion people affected by preventable or unaddressed visual impairment, the strategy responds to a growing global need, particularly in low and middle-income countries where 90 per cent of people with vision impairment live.

The strategy aligns with global policy frameworks, including the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), universal health coverage (UHC) and the World Health Assembly resolutions. It is guided by principles of equity, inclusion, systems strengthening and partnerships. Publication date: May 2026
