World Sight Day
20 to 30 minutes - just the time some people take for breakfast - can bring light into the darkness of visually impaired people: this is the time a cataract surgery takes.
Here are a few more facts of the World Sight Day:
* Worldwide, about 40 million people are blind
* Every fourth person, a total of around 285 million people, have a moderate or severe visual impairment
* Each year, 1-2 million people go blind
This year, the 'Call to Action' for World Sight Day is “No more Avoidable Blindness”: about 80% of visual impairment could be avoided.
