The event was broadcast by the Vision Foundation, of which Sophie is patron, and was available for its supporters to watch.
During the session, Sophie said: “For the blind and partially sighted amongst us, these past months have been especially challenging.
“However, through the care that the Vision Foundation has extended to those in difficulty, I am hopeful that the people we care for will feel empowered within their communities.”
In the past, the Countess of Wessex has advocated for the visually impaired and worked to curb avoidable blindness around the world.
