On Wednesday, the Countess of Wessex headed to the Commonwealth Eye Health Consortium and had a meeting with eye health experts from 27 Commonwealth countries, who are aiming to expand & develop eye health services across the Commonwealth. Sophie looked incredible in her navy blue pencil dress that had printed flowers around the neckline and at the hem. She teamed it with a navy blue peplum jacket, nude heels and a matching clutch bag and wore her trademark blonde hair up in a sleek chignon. During her visit, the wife of Prince Edward performed simulated cataract surgery on model eyes and saw how people from across the Commonwealth are being trained to perform the procedure which can restore eyesight.

The Commonwealth Eye Health Consortium is a network working across the Commonwealth to develop national programmes to tackle major causes of avoidable blindness."
