UN Resolution on Vision Passes Unanimously
The World Council of Optometry is excited to share that the United Nations General Assembly has adopted the ‘Vision for Everyone; accelerating action to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals‘ Resolution committing the international community to eye health for the 1.1 billion people living with preventable sight loss by 2030.
The resolution was passed unanimously by all 193 countries of the United Nations. It sets a target for vision for everyone by 2030, with countries set to ensure full access to eye care services for their populations, and to make eye health integral to their nation’s commitment to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.

Thank you to the United Nations Friends of Vision group and to all the countries that co-sponsored the resolution.
