Summary: Homepage of the UK Vision Strategy
The UK Vision Strategy is a ground-breaking VISION 2020 UK initiative, led by RNIB, to develop a unified plan for action on all issues relating to sight loss and eye health across the four countries of the UK.
About the Strategy
The UK Vision Strategy - launched in April 2008 - was developed to address the aim of the World Health Assembly VISION 2020 resolution to reduce avoidable blindness by the year 2020 and to improve support and services for blind and partially sighted people.
Over 650 organisations and individuals have played a role in developing the Strategy. This includes people with sight loss, users of eyecare services, eye health and social care professionals, statutory and voluntary organisations. The UK Governments have also given their support to the Strategy.
It is the first time that such a breadth of groups have come together to set the direction for eye health and sight loss services. Together this makes a powerful force for change.
The UK Vision Strategy aims to:
- improve the eye health of the people of the UK
- eliminate avoidable sight loss and deliver excellent support to those with a sight problem
- enhance the inclusion, participation and independence of blind and partially sighted people.
