About the Insight Program :
Who are we solving for?
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%.
Through InSight Program, The/Nudge Institute is collaborating with central and state governments to make India presbyopia-free using a community-led model.
