October 9th World Sight Day 2014

World Sight Day’s 2014 theme is "No More Avoidable Blindness"

 

It is a sad fact that most of the people who go blind did not have to become blind.  Most of the diseases that rob people of their sight, up to 80%, can be either prevented or avoided with access to proper healthcare and nutrition. Surgical intervention may also restore the sight of those who go blind due to cataracts.  We want to reduce this 80% down to zero.
