Across Africa, where access to regular screening and affordable care remains limited, especially in rural areas, the challenge is even greater. Yet it often goes unseen, unheard, and unaddressed.

One key question: 👉 Can colours be perceived through Vision Rehabilitation?

This isn’t only about perception, but about how society chooses to recognise diverse ways of experiencing the world.

By reflecting on this, we challenge assumptions, open dialogue, and create space for new understanding.
