Why the eye?

From our earliest years through our final days, our sight plays a wondrous role in who we are as people and as a population. Diverse voices engaging in discussions around this lifelong impact will stimulate conversations around the challenges to equitable access to eye care, unique collaborations across stakeholders, and opportunities to integrate vision into public health policies, practices, and research advancement. This event will remind us why the eye should be an important focus for us all.
