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.
