Everyone, if they live long enough, will experience at least one eye condition in their lifetime that will require appropriate care.  Globally, at least 2.2 billion people have a vision impairment or blindness, of whom at least 1 billion have a vision impairment that could have been prevented or has yet to be addressed. Tens of millions have a severe vision impairment and could benefit from rehabilitation which they are not currently receiving. The burden of eye conditions and vision impairment is not borne equally: it is often far greater in low- and middle-income countries, among older people and in women, and in rural and disadvantaged communities.   📸 by @suncheafrica , Reference  @who World vision report , Optometrist  J.M.Samwel on the left side with client who attended for eye screening session at Ukonga , Dar es salaam.
