The royal’s visit will spotlight the prevention of blindness, one of her most important causes.
Sophie, who has been a global ambassador for the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness for nearly twenty years has been an ardent supporter of eye health, helping those with sight loss and eye health needs in the UK and around the world. Last year she visited Botswana and Malawi to raise awareness about the importance of eye health and to congratulate those involved in helping to eliminate trachoma in the country.
However, Sophie’s first-hand experience has led to a decades-long campaign to raise awareness about the importance of good eye health and she has been actively involved in helping Ethiopia eliminate trachoma, an infectious and blinding disease. The late Queen was hugely supportive of Sophie’s work and in 2020 joined the then Countess of Wessex for a video call with eye health professionals providing eye care around the Commonwealth.
