Science Against Visual Impairment

Who are we?

Punt de Vista is a non-profit foundation that works to promote scientific research in the field of visual diversity and build a more accessible world for all those who suffer from visual diversity. We promote the accompaniment of new affected people to the doubts generated by the new visual reality while promoting scientific research against blindness.

What do we do?

There are 38 million blind people and 110 million people with low vision in the world.

FPDV promotes scientific research in the field of recovery of low vision and blindness. On the other hand, we accompany the affected people as well as their relatives in the process of vision loss at an international level.
