LONDON—Last week, the optical community celebrated the 25th anniversary of World Sight Day, the global awareness day observed annually on the second Thursday of October. This year's campaign, coordinated by the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB) in cooperation with the World Health Organization, focused on ensuring eyecare is accessible, available and affordable for everyone. Building on the success of the past four years, the #LoveYourEyes campaign for this year’s World Sight Day encourages individuals worldwide to prioritize their own eye health and advocates for universal access to affordable and available eyecare.
