Today is World Site Day, and I want to tell you all about a plan I discovered over the Summer, and ask for each of you to consider giving, as I have, a few pounds today to support it.

In West Africa, there is an estimated 2.6m people who are blind. 80% of blind people affected suffer needlessly in developing countries because their blindness is completely treatable and/or preventable in the first place – sometimes in operations that can take minutes.

Moorfields, the oldest and one of the largest centres for eye health in the world, has committed to developing an integrated eye unit and surgical training that is to be based at the main teaching hospital in Ghana’s capital Accra. 

 I am asking everyone to consider giving small amounts that won’t hurt the pocket, but collectively will make a big difference
Yours,Jamie Murray Wells,  Founder and Executive Chairman, Glasses Direct
