World Sight Day, held on 12 October, 2023, is one of the most important days of the year for the eye health and vision care sector. It’s an international event that provides an opportunity to focus the world’s attention on the importance of good eye health and vision care.
This year we are focusing on the importance of eye care in the workplace – from encouraging employers to make eye health initiatives standard practice to the promoting eye health habits that will benefit the well-being, safety and productivity of millions of employees.
It’s an opportunity to motivate employers everywhere to implement change. From the work site to the office, we want to ensure that eye care is available, accessible and affordable to all.
Love Your Eyes is about creating awareness that everyone, at some stage in life, will experience an eye health issue. Those of us who can access eye care should prioritise our eye health and support efforts to ensure that eye care is accessible, inclusive and affordable to everyone, everywhere.
