Welcome back to #HealthcareMatters! This episode comes to you just in time for World Sight Day (October 12th), shining a light on the critical and expansive field of Vision Health. With startling projections suggesting that by 2050, half of the world’s population could be navigating life with vision impairment, this topic demands our attention and action. We're privileged to host Prof. Hristina Grupcheva, a distinguished expert in ophthalmology. Together, we navigate through the hurdles, dive deep into the data, and explore practical solutions to combat vision impairment and blindness that is currently a reality for approximately 2 billion people worldwide. Bearing a significant economic cost on nations, this topic stands relevant and imperative to address.
