World Sight Day 08

World Sight Day is a global initiative providing an opportunity to raise the profile of the causes of blindness and vision impairment and the preventative measures. It takes place on the second Thursday in October every year.

The theme for World Sight Day 2008 which is due to be held on will be held on Thursday 9 October is 'Eyes on the future - vision and ageing'. Planning is well underway and this page will be updated as activities develop.

Last year the theme was "Our Vision for Children" and Vision 2020 Australia members around the country took part in raising awareness for eye health and low vision issues affecting children.
