Our Mission

Global eyecare needs our help.

WE’RE TAXING OURSELVES

MyPEAR’s self-imposed vision tax of 1% helps provide vision and eyecare services to those in most need, globally.

Why eyecare needs our help.

  • Globally, at least 2.2 billion people have a near or distance vision impairment.
  • ~75% of vision loss is preventable with routine eye care!
  • The leading causes of vision impairment and blindness are uncorrected refractive errors and cataracts.
  • The majority of people with vision impairment and blindness are over the age of 50 years; however, vision loss can affect people of all ages.
  • Vision impairment poses an enormous global financial burden with the annual global costs of productivity losses associated with vision impairment from uncorrected myopia and presbyopia alone estimated to be US$ 244 billion and US$ 25.4 billion.
