THE BLINDING TRUTH

• 80% of blindness is now avoidable
• 314 million people worldwide are blind and an additional 517 million just need simple glasses to see!
• Two thirds are women
• 90% live in low income countries
• In Africa, one in 9 over 50 yrs is blind with cataract and 30% are blind with glaucoma
• A cataract operation takes 10 minutes and cost $20 in Africa and there is only one cataract surgeon per million people and almost no glaucoma treatments.

In the developed world ....... It's a serious disability

In the deveoping world ...... IT'S A DEATH SENTENCE

Right to Sight was founded to eliminate the cataract and glaucoma crisis in Africa through sustainable training, post training support and education.  We are completely focussed on developing and supporting the African surgeon, in Africa.
This crisis is solvable and the solutions are cheap, easy, quick and very effective.

We can make avoidable blindness a thing of the past.
