An opportunity for them to colour and invent the next generation of glasses. 🌍 Be part of our global challenge by teaming up with a school, youth or sports club and organise to have their vision checked. 🙂 Have fun with our children’s packs - filled with mazes, colouring pages, wordsearches and more. Download those today. 👁️ Get familiar with eye health and what to look out for in children by downloading our carers guide to child eye health.

We extend our gratitude to Hon. Kirk Humphrey, Minister of People Empowerment and Elder Affairs, Barbados, for his impactful keynote address at 2030 IN SIGHT LIVE in Mexico City and his advocacy for eye care in the Barbados Parliament. In his address to Cabinet Ministers and the Senate last week, Minister Humphrey emphasized that blindness is often preventable and unnecessary. His support raises awareness about the significance of eye health among key decision-makers, moving us closer to more governments making eye health an integral part of the work to ensure universal health coverage for their populations. #2030InSight

We are thrilled to introduce you to, Artie. Artie is the face of this year's Love Your Eyes, World Sight Day campaign. A campaign, running now until 10 October, that is encouraging children, big and small, to understand the importance of their eye health and how to ensure their eyes stay healthy now and long into the future. World Sight Day also invites parents and carers to prioritise their child’s eye health and learn the signs that could be alerting to an eye health issue. There are lots of opportunities for your business to use the campaign as a vehicle to engage parents and children in this important public health topic.
