World Sight Day: HelpMeSee Calls for Greater Investment in Surgical Workforce to Address Global Cataract Blindness

On World Sight Day, HelpMeSee is calling for greater investment in the skilled surgical workforce needed to address one of the world’s most treatable causes of blindness.

It’s estimated that 94 million adults age 50 and older live with vision impairment or blindness caused by untreated cataract, yet more than half of people who need cataract surgery globally do not have access to it. In the World Health Organization African Region, three in four people who need cataract surgery remain untreated.
