WHO and OneSight EssilorLuxottica Foundation join forces

The OneSight EssilorLuxottica foundation has partnered with the World Health Organization (WHO) as a global collaborator on the WHO’s Specs 2030 initiative.

The Specs initiative built on the global target set in 2021 by WHO member states to increase effective coverage of refractive error by 40 percentage points by 2030.

This collaboration will emphasise knowledge exchange, technical input and data-driven insights to scale solutions, supporting the successful implementation of the United Nations’ ‘Vision for Everyone’ resolution.

Anurag Hans, head of mission at EssilorLuxottica and president of the foundation, commented: ‘By uniting WHO’s leadership in public health with our expertise in delivering innovative, on-the-ground solutions, we believe we can create a multiplier effect to extend vision care to even the most underserved regions.’
