A new version of the IAPB Vision Atlas has launched, providing the latest visualisations and information around the magnitude and causes of sight loss globally.

First starting in 2017, the Vision Atlas became a digital platform in 2021. The latest version, launched at this year’s IAPB 2030 In Sight event, includes data from the Rapid Assessment of Avoidable Blindness (RAAB) surveys, which are the largest contributor to global estimates of sight loss and its causes. RAAB is currently managed by the International Centre for Eye Health.

The new vision atlas has five top new functions:

1. 60+ data sources
   Including VLEG, RAAB, and 2030 In Sight Progress — the most authoritative sources in eye health.
2. Expanded country data pages
   Discover new indicators like eye care integration and track national progress.
3. Country comparison tool
   Compare performance across countries and regions to identify gaps and opportunities.
4. Enhanced visualisations
   Interactive charts, new research displays, and easy-to-understand dashboards.
5. Advocacy-ready data stories
   Scroll-through narratives designed to support funding proposals, campaigns, and stakeholder engagement.

ICEH are proud to contribute to this important work, that influences decision-making and policy worldwide.
