The IAPB launched the IAPB Vision Atlas on the occasion of its 10th General Assembly in Durban, South Africa in October 2016. At this meeting members of the VLEG were involved in a keynote speech that introduced the latest 2015 prevalence estimates for blindness and vision impairment and met at a symposium that discussed the regional and causal breakdown of the data.
The IAPB Vision Atlas brings together the latest data and evidence related to avoidable blindness and sight loss; tells the story behind the numbers; presents solutions, and good practice; highlights the opportunities to eliminate some blinding conditions; and warns of emerging threats that, if ignored, could reverse the progress that has been made in reducing prevalence over the past 25 years.
The IAPB Vision Atlas is animated around two major data sets: national indicators based on the WHO Global Action Plan (2014-19)(GAP); Data and prevalence estimates from the Vision Loss Expert Group (VLEG) data.
