The report Connecting Healthy Ageing and Vision, released on World Sight Day by The Fred Hollows Foundation and the International Federation of Ageing (IFA), calls for close collaboration between the eye health and ageing sectors to protect and restore vision in older age.
The report provides an overview of the eye health of older people today and proposes key actions needed within and beyond the UN Decade of Healthy Ageing (2021-2030) to ensure that older people’s eye health and quality of life are preserved.
