NEW YORK—As the fight against vision loss and visual impairment continues worldwide, the World Sight Day initiative made its mark this year on Oct. 10, 2013 to turn the world’s attention to its mission: preventing avoidable blindness. With a 2013 theme of “Universal Eye Health” and new goal to spread the message, “Get Your Eyes Tested,” World Sight Day 2013 ignited an impressive number of initiatives industrywide as all sectors of the vision community joined together to raise awareness of the event and its purpose.

Though a week has passed since the “day” itself, the World Sight Day Challenge continues. Keep up to date with the campaign as the results come in on VisionMonday.com.
