While it can be something we all take for granted, eye health, like our overall health, is something we should all take responsibility for. The consequences of eyesight loss can be devastating, requiring significant changes to lifestyle and introducing new challenges. Even beyond the personal impact, a 2020 study estimated that globally, the cost of vision impairment is as much as $400 billion. \u00a0It makes sense to do what you can to avoid vision health problems, and it makes sense for countries too given the cost, which is why Healthy Vision Month is here to support eye health and promote eye exams.<\/p>

Yet more than 50% of those are preventable eye problems, with the main barrier to that prevention being the prevalence of eye exams worldwide.<\/p>

In total, there are over a billion people that have suffered from vision impairment because they lack access to even basic eye health care such as a regular eye test. While organizations such as the World Health Organization highlight the cost to economies of that in an effort to persuade governments to invest in preventative measures, those figures represent a massive effect on human life, each one\u00a0 a tragedy that could be avoided. We mentioned earlier the cost of over $400 billion, yet the WHO also suggests that providing eye exams and access to vision health services for these regions could be as little as $25 billion.<\/p>
