About Us
Vision-Aid's mission is to help those who suffer from vision-related disabilities in under-served areas to lead lives of independence and dignity. More than 40 million people in the world are blind, and more than 120 million people have significant Low Vision conditions that cannot be corrected, cured or treated by conventional refraction, medicine, or surgery. And unfortunately, this number is only going to grow: the World Health Organization expects the blind and Low Vision population to double by the year 2020. Vision-Aid is an organization dedicated to helping those afflicted by vision-related disabilities in India.
