About World Sight Day

World Sight Day is an annual day of awareness supported by eye health organizations around the world to draw global attention to vision impairment and to raise funds to combat them. More than one billion people worldwide cannot see simply because they do not have access to eye care.

World Sight Day 2022 is Thursday, October 13. To make an immediate impact, donate here.
