World Sight Day 2022 To Take Sight Screenings To National Parliaments
November 11, 2022
- Global Partners for World Sight Day 2022 have been announced as AbbVie, Bayer, CBM, Novartis, Horizon Therapeutics, National Vision, OneSight EssilorLuxottica Foundation, Seva Foundation, and Sightsavers
- The International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB) confirmed earlier in the year that it will continue the theme of #LoveYourEyes for World Sight Day 2022 to build on the success of last year’s campaign, which saw over 3.5 million pledges to prioritize eye health.
- The Love Your Eyes campaign encourages individuals to take care of their own eye health and draws attention to over a billion people worldwide who have vision loss and do not have access to eye care services.
- This year IAPB is asking members and people across the sector to carry out sight screenings in national parliaments, assemblies, presidential and royal palaces to highlight the importance of eye health to politicians and decision-makers.
