According to the World Health Organization (WHO) it is estimated that there are approximately 39 million blind persons throughout the world. The number might vary significantly depending on the definition of blindness used, since there are far more individuals who have seriously impaired vision than there are with complete lack of vision. See the Wikipedia article linked below for further information.
