We believe healthcare professionals and consumers working together to create better eyecare outcomes is the best way to address the following needs in Canada:
-
Poor vision is the largest preventable disability in the world and, in Canada alone, 2/3 of the population depend on vision care solutions.
-
A 2012 study in Canada by the CNIB and the University of Waterloo’s School of Optometry estimates that one in seven Canadian adults may be living with a form of vision loss, much of which could be corrected. Children are at particular risk for missed diagnoses.
-
Only around 10 million Canadians annually are served by the optical industry with an eye exam. There is therefore a significant number of Canadians who have not had an exam in the past 5 years or have in fact never had an eye exam at all!
-
There are a large number of children with uncorrected refractive errors (approx. 2M), and we also acknowledge that a large number of adults (we estimate 6% of all adults - around 3M) suffer from the same issue.
-
Due to economic and geographical challenges, many Canadians have no access to eyecare or eyewear.
-
The cost of vision loss in Canada is estimated to be over $15.8 billion annually, with 68% of adults with vision loss being unemployed. (Vision Health Coalition)
-
Myopia: About 60% of Canadian children, or 1/3 Canadian kids suffer from reading difficulties linked to undetected or uncorrected vision problems. (Vision Health Coalition).
