Over 123 million lost workdays

Over 123 million lost workdays per year caused by blindness or eye diseases according to new pan-European health economic study

The European Forum Against Blindness (EFAB) has revealed the results of an 11-country study (an extension to the data reported last year covering six countries) which reports on the economic impact of blindness and four leading eyesight conditions, and which concluded that blindness and vision loss lead to a reduced quality of life and increased economic burden to society.
