Focus On Sight

Over 300 million people across the world are visually impaired and, of those, 45 million are completely blind.

Sight impairment is closely linked to poverty and yet a staggering 80% of all cases are both treatable and preventable. It’s an area where your money can transform lives.

Sadly, although the primary causes of blindness, such as cataracts, are relatively simple to correct, many people do not know how to get help, or even that help exists.

The Red Nose Day money you raise can help to give people access to the treatments and operations that will let them see again.

In Africa alone, 300,000 children under the age of 15 are blind.
