LEARN HOW EYE HEALTH ACHIEVES ECONOMY!

A study points out that in the year 2020 alone, vision problems caused a loss of US$ 410.7 billion in productivity in the world.
This number is a reflection of the lack of investment in health services such as ophthalmology. So find out how eye health directly affects the economy.

DATA WARNING!

To be even more alert, more data shows that 90% of cases of vision loss could be prevented with preventive medicine, at low cost and with existing methods.
If we continue on this path, this number could triple by 2050, mainly in low and middle income countries: Asia and Africa.

UN GOALS:

The United Nations has already come together to set new goals to be applied by the year 2030, all of which were designed to improve the quality of life of the population, so among them we highlight: poverty eradication; decent employment and economic growth; health and wellness; quality education and gender equality. The UN believes that
improving eye health is seen as human development.

AGE RANGE / MOST AFFECTED GENDERS:

Children who have poor vision quality tend to have a poorer academic performance compared to children with perfect vision. Research shows that when glasses are provided to students, there is a significant improvement
school performance.

In the job market, for example, people with vision problems also tend to land in lower jobs with fewer job opportunities. Another statistic points out that there are every 100 men with visual problems, there are 108/112 women affected respectively.
Therefore, we invite you to read more about this gender statistic in our post: Alert for Women's Eye Health!
