Make a Landmark Commitment
The Global Summit represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to shape how eye health is delivered and financed. As the primary engines of delivery, private sector organisations are invited to make parallel commitments that align with national reforms and help scale care across emerging markets.
An important part of the Global Summit for Eye Health will be commitments from governments, international institutions, the private sector and civil society. A commitment is a formal public pledge made by a government official or body to take specific actions, allocate resources, or achieve measurable targets in pursuit of ending avoidable sight loss. It is a clear expression of political will and a benchmark for accountability.
We are seeking commitments of any kind that focus on improving eye health, but commitments are particularly welcome that focus on Six Accelerators:
All commitments will be formally recognised in the Summit’s official outcome document and featured on the commitment portal, highlighting your role as a leader in global health delivery.
To discuss your commitment, please contact jack@eyehealthsummit.org or submit your proposal via our portal.

Our new Investment Case, launched at the 79th United Nations General Assembly, outlines the economic costs and benefits of addressing sight loss and provides a clear and actionable path for countries to deliver an immediate positive impact on economies, workforces, schools and communities.
A new eye health policy framework launched at the World Health Assembly in 2025 outlining the steps that government departments or ministries can take to support their own priorities and implement national approaches that are fitting for their populations’ needs.
