The World Sight Day Photo Competition invites photographers from around the world — professionals and amateurs alike — to share images that celebrate the importance of eye care, vision, and the impact of eye care when it is accessible, available and affordable. This year, we are celebrating 10 years of the World Sight Day Photo Competition — a decade of incredible stories, powerful imagery, and global advocacy for eye health. Be part of this incredible competition by entering your images and continue shining a light on the impact of eye care and what it means to #LoveYourEyes.

THE REACH OF LOVE YOUR EYES
Thanks to the support of millions of campaigners, IAPB members, and partners, the Love Your Eyes campaign continues to attract attention and reach important audiences. In four short years of campaigning, Love Your Eyes has hit some big numbers.
BETTER EDUCATION IN SIGHT
World Sight Day in 2024 saw new research released that revealed the indisputable links between healthy vision, education attainment, lost school years, lifetime earnings and economic gains. The research, conducted with the Seva Foundation, reinforced the importance of early intervention. Please explore this landmark research.
THE 2024 CAMPAIGN
The significance of eye health, especially in children, cannot be understated. In 2024, World Sight Day shouted louder than ever before that addressing eye health issues is essential to unlocking the full potential of our youngest generation. The energy and support for this year’s campaign has been inspiring, and the results speak for themselves. Please download the campaign report and celebrate the incredible success of World Sight Day 2024.
Photo Competition
The World Sight Day Photo Competition continues to be a popular and important staple of the World Sight Day campaign. Each year, photographers are invited to capture what it means to #LoveYourEyes. The quality of the competition continues to grow, and we encourage you to see the 2024 winning images.
The Glasses of the Future Competition
For World Sight Day 2024, children were invited to unleash their creativity and design the glasses of the future. What would they look like, what unique functions would they have? We learned that when kids invent, they solve problems and create possibilities where no dream is too big or too small. We invite you to see the competition winners.
