MONTREAL—This year, social media's role in escalating participation among patients and ECPs in World Sight Day (Oct. 10) is growing stronger. One of the many companies taking part is Montreal-based WestGroupe, the eyewear company which also has a large presence in the U.S. and internationally, that is an Optometry Giving Sight supporter, helping to bring the global optometry community together to help end preventable vision impairment.
