And then there was Light
2007 October 11
It’s World Sight Day….
Some statistics:
There’s a person going blind every 5 minutes
At least 1 child goes blind every MINUTE
37 MILLION PEOPLE WORLDWIDE ARE BLIND, and 75% OF BLINDNESS IS AVOIDABLE
124 million in the world have low vision
while another
153 million have uncorrected refractive error
Now… assuming that 70% of Home’s population wear glasses (a conservative estimate, I think), for a country that constitutes 0.06% of the world population, we account for…
Nearly 1 % of “spec”-ies in the entire world.
Sigh… think I am doing too much mathematics. And really do not feel like studying anymore.
