The new Vision Atlas will be launched on World Sight Day 12th October 2017 by the International Agency for Prevention of Blindness (IAPB) and will be available via http://atlas.iapb.org
Members of the VLEG have worked with the IAPB and several sponsors to create the Vision Atlas which features visualisations of the blindness and vision impairment data by country and cause data by region, prepared by the VLEG from analysis of the Global Vision Database. This is a great example of actionable data and this website offers the opportunity to disseminate these latest global and country-level findings to any internet user. As stated on the Vision Atlas website, this development gives us the opportunity to create a public conversation that helps persuade decision-makers in government and the private sector to tackle what is largely an avoidable problem. A briefing pack can be obtained from the IAPB by contacting [email protected]
