Critical Stats!

It is found that worldwide, about 314 million people are visually impaired.  The other shocking fact I found was that of that 314 million people, about 14% are blind, which is about 45 million. As we will continue to search about economic costs and how much money is spent each year for glasses, there is an important statistics that I found concerning people with visual problems.  90% of people with eye problems come from low income countries.  People do not always have that much money to be able to buy glasses each year.  People then suffer major eye problem when getting older.

  1. It is easy to conclude that 90 % of people with eye problems come from low income countries. This is why there are boxes to leave your old glasses in so perhaps your old glasses can help someone else! Your vision is very important to maintain and glasses are very costly for no appearent reason! We are very fortunate to have easy access to many optomitrists in Canada!
