Empowering BAME individuals where knowledge lights the path to eye health
Empowered eyes recognised a significant cultural gap in public health awareness and support for BAME individuals who are at high risk of developing preventable sight loss. This discovery ignited our passion to raise awareness about eye diseases, aiming to equip this marginalised group with the knowledge necessary to prevent sight loss.
We are committed to ensuring that everyone has equal access to essential services, resources, and advice, so no one is left in the dark about the importance of eye health. Through our efforts, we aspire to foster a community where knowledge and preventive measures empower individuals to maintain their vision for a lifetime.
