Globally, including developed countriessuch as Australia and the USA, three fourths of vision loss isunnecessary; it is either preventable or treatable. TheWorld Health Organization and International Agency forthe Prevention of Blindness launched a global initiative –Vision 2020, the Right to Sight, in 1999 that aims to eliminateavoidable blindness by 2020. Great progress is beingmade in developing countries and diseases such as tra-choma and onchocerciasis are decreasing. Capacityespecially for cataract surgery and refractive services isgrowing rapidly. Although much of this work occurs indeveloping areas, there is much unmet need in our own

communities. Undetected glaucoma and diabeticretinopathy are still too prevalent. We must think globallybut act locally paying attention to the undiagnosed andunderserved people in our community.
