Global Summit for Eye Health Commitments

Summit Commitments

All governments, private sector organisations, civil society groups, research institutions, and philanthropists are invited to make and profile their forward-looking commitments to eye health at the Summit.

What is a commitment?

Is a formal public pledge made by a government, organisation, business or international institutions to take specific actions, allocate resources, or achieve measurable targets in pursuit of our shared goal of ending avoidable sight loss. It serves as a clear expression of political and organisation will, providing a benchmark for accountability.

Deadline for government commitments: World Sight Day, 8 October 2026.

The Summit will convene world leaders to:


Commit to leadership and action from the highest levels of Government. Activate nationally owned plans to deliver change and an integrated approach. Implement policy changes to address vision, recognising it as a whole-of-life issue requiring a whole-of-government approach.	Increase resources, recognising the return on investment possible nationally and internationally. Explore innovative funding mechanisms and new ways to fund eye health. Foster partnerships with the private sector.	Collaborate across public and private sectors to harness educational and societal benefits. Implement the six accelerator interventions quickly as a minimum and scale over time. Harness technology and fast-track research and development.
