About the Insight Program :
We are solving for millions of adults in India, especially in rural communities, living with uncorrected presbyopia, a near-vision impairment affecting 1 in 3 people over 30. Without timely access to simple solutions like reading glasses, they face barriers to work and income, despite evidence showing such interventions can boost productivity by 34% and income by 20%.
What are we solving for?
Millions in India experience uncorrected presbyopia, a near-vision impairment affecting one in three people over 30, with cases now appearing as early as 35. Globally, presbyopia is the most common cause of vision impairment, impacting over 800 million people. In India alone, 300 million people live with this condition, contributing to $14 billion in lost productivity each year.
For many, especially in rural communities, clear near vision is essential for work and daily activities. Without access to timely solutions, individuals may face challenges in earning a livelihood. However, studies from Assam and Bangladesh show that a simple intervention—reading glasses—can increase productivity by 34% and boost income by 20%.
Despite the clear benefits, several factors have made it difficult for people to access reading glasses at scale:
With only one trained optometrist per 180,000 people, access to professional eye care remains a challenge in many areas. Many individuals aren’t aware that their near-vision difficulties can be easily corrected, and some hesitate to wear glasses due to social and cultural perceptions. Bringing reading glasses to remote and rural areas requires innovative and community-driven approaches to ensure affordability and reach.
Through InSight Program, The/Nudge Institute is collaborating with central and state governments to make India presbyopia-free using a community-led model.
