Global Burden of Disease research estimated that 15.2 million people in this age group were blind from cataract in 2020, with another 78.8 million experiencing moderate or severe vision impairment from the condition. The persistent gap between a treatable condition and millions of people living with cataract-related vision loss points to one of the fundamental challenges facing global eye health: the availability and distribution of a workforce with the surgical skills necessary to meet the need.That is why Global Vision Awareness Month should also be a conversation about Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery (MSICS), simulation-based surgical education, and sustainable systems for developing cataract surgical capacity."}
