According to a research by the \u201cInternational Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB)\u201d, in 2020 in Pakistan, there were an estimated 26 million people with vision loss, of these, 1.8 million people were blind. This number of vision loss and blind people is growing fast. Vision impairment poses an enormous global financial burden, with the annual global cost of productivity estimated to be US$ 411 billion (IAPB - 2020)\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
