World Sight Day 2022

World Sight Day 2022

Today is World Sight Day, and this year’s focus was on turning the world’s attention to the importance of eye care.​ The International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB) has been calling on the sector to join them in helping people prioritize their own eye health as well as leaders to ensure eye care is accessible, inclusive, and affordable to everyone, everywhere.​ #LoveYourEyes.​

This year’s global pledging goal was to help reach the five million sight test goal by World Sight Day to raise awareness and drive demand. As of today, 6,808,186 are the Total Pledged sight test, which means IAPB was able to beat the target by 1.8M, and still counting. Therefore we invite everyone to JOIN IAPB AND HELP Them move further past their goal!
