World Sight Day (WSD) is an annual day of awareness held on the second Thursday of October, to focus global attention on blindness and vision impairment. World Sight Day 2018 is on 11 October 2018.
2018 is the sixth year of the WHO Global Action Plan and IAPB encourages our members and partners to continue with our rolling theme:
Universal Eye Health
This year, the ‘Call to Action‘ for World Sight Day is: Eye Care Everywhere.
- 1.2 Billion people need #glasses to see better.
- More than 75% of visual impairment is avoidable.
