World Sight Day, 10 October 2024, highlights the importance of prioritizing child eye health and giving children everywhere the opportunity to love their eyes. Today, the World Council of Optometry (WCO) joins our partners at the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB) and thousands worldwide for World Sight Day 2024.
