The social value of vision
See better. Learn. Work. Move forward.
A pair of glasses can do more than improve sight: support a child’s schooling, an adult’s work and independence over the years.
Learn
See the board and read more easily to participate in learning.
Work
Make everyday work tasks easier and support continued activity.
Contribute
Support independence and participation in economic and social life.
Understand the estimate and references
VisionSpring estimates that its customers can earn USD 216 in additional income over the two-year average expected lifespan of their glasses. This estimate assumes an initial average income of USD 2 per day.
This benchmark illustrates the economic potential of vision correction. Its applicability depends on the population, context and length of glasses use; it is not a measured outcome of the Maddad programme.
WHO and IAPB also document links between vision, learning, employment and productivity.
