Why World Sight Day

Every October, on the second Thursday, World Sight Day casts a spotlight on the importance of eye care, and  what it means to have care that is accessible, available and affordable to all.

Nearly everyone on the planet will experience an eye health issue in their lifetime, yet over a billion people still lack access to the services and treatments they need. World Sight Day is an annual reminder to #LoveYourEyes and an opportunity to join millions of people globally who understand the value of vision.

Together, we will make eye health impossible to ignore. Join us on 8 October 2026.
