According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), at least 2.2 billion people globally have a near or distance vision impairment. In at least half of these cases – in nearly one billion people – vision impairment could have been prevented with early diagnosis. While eye problems in children can impact their motor, language and cognitive development and lead to numerous behavioral issues, vision impairment severely impacts the quality of life of older adults as well.
