World Sight Day is observed every year on the second Thursday of October, falling on October 13 this year. It was initiated by the Lions Clubs International Foundation during their “SightFirstCampaign” in an effort to spread awareness about preventable blindness and help people who are visually impaired.
World Sight Day is an annual day of awareness to focus global attention on vision impairment, including blindness.
The theme of this year's eventս is again “Love Your Eyes”.
