On March 28, 2019, The Countess of Wessex, Vice-Patron of The Trust, hosted a reception at St. James’s Palace to celebrate the achievements of global eye health leaders in their efforts to bring vision to everyone, everywhere. Among the guests at the reception were the Chairman of the Secretary-General of the Commonwealth, Phillip Parham, High Commissioners and leading experts in eye health. The Commonwealth Eye Health Consortium was established in 2015 by the Trust in partnership with the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine to bring quality eye care to those who need it.
