As loyal funders of our work, we’re excited to partner with EssilorLuxottica's new Foundation, as we advocate for collective impact to create a world where access to good #vision is a priority.
Bringing together passionate forces across the world with a shared ambition to eliminate uncorrected poor vision, the OneSight EssilorLuxottica Foundation is born today to help build a world where everyone can see more and be more: onesight.essilorluxottica.co… #SeeMoreBeMore @EssiLux

Thanks @CooperInstitute for bringing awareness to this issue. Good #vision is truly a part of whole-child health or all children.
Research suggests that 55% of the people with vision loss globally are women and girls. How do we advocate for eye health programs around girls' vision? @VisionCost has some ideas: bit.ly/3weKGot #WomensHealthWeek #WomensHealthMonth #HealthyVision #WELLIntoTheFuture

Vision correction and intervention on behalf of #children is quite possibly THE most effective change we could make to impact the world’s vision problem. Read more in this month's blog: bit.ly/39Xf5jF #advocacy #visionhealth #workingtogether

To see clearly, many workers just need a pair of eyeglasses. Access to basic eye care services needs to be included in national strategic health plans and development policies, health financing structures, and health workforce planning. #SafeDay @ilo 📸: Myint Zaw

DID YOU KNOW: 80% of children's learning is through the use of their eyes. Healthy vision is critical for every child’s social development, school success, and well-being.
