A Vision Atlas as a communications tool

Topics

Enhancing data and a how it is presented visually will make all organisations more effective in communicating and effecting change.

The IAPB launched their new Vision Atlas for eye health data and evidence, in October 202. It enables stake-holders in the field worldwide to find data that is suitable to them in an extremely interactive way. It includes interactive maps and downloads of slide decks that means they can use the data to match their circumstances.

The tool is especially valuable in communications and advocacy to be used in meetings with politicians and policy makers. 

Delegates will learn

  • What the tool looks like
  • How the focus on visual innovation has made it so effective
  • What goes into creating and maintaining a Vision Atlas tool
