World Sight Day

World Sight Day, observed annually on the second Thursday of October, is a global event dedicated to raising awareness about blindness and vision impairment. Organised by the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB), this day focuses on the importance of eye health, advocating for access to eye care services, and highlighting the need for early detection and treatment of eye conditions. World Sight Day encourages individuals and communities to take action to prevent vision loss and ensure that eye care services are available to everyone.

Vision impairment affects millions of people around the world, but many cases of vision loss can be prevented or treated with proper care. World Sight Day is an opportunity to promote regular eye check-ups, raise awareness about preventable blindness, and support initiatives that provide eye care services to underserved populations.
