World Sight Day
World Sight Day is October 13th, 2016!
World Sight Day is an annual day of awareness to focus global attention on blindness and vision impairment.
On World Sight Day, we work together with the International Association for the Prevention of Blindness to:
-Raise public awareness of blindness & vision impairment as major international public health issues
-Influence Governments/Ministers of Health to participate in and designate funds for national blindness prevention programmes
-Educate target audiences about blindness prevention, about VISION 2020 and to generate support for VISION 2020 programme activities
