They say eyes are the window to the soul. We don’t know about that, but ‘window’ sure makes a lot of sense. Our eyes are one of the primary ways we experience the world. So, naturally, we want to take good care of them, right?
World Sight Day is an international day of awareness coordinated by the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB). It’s a day that’s meant to inform and educate Canadians on maintaining their eye health.
The Canadian Ophthalmological Society (COS), the national authority on eye and vision care in Canada, recognizes World Sight Day 2023 on Thursday, October 12th.
But this fall is different, and that’s because the COS is running a contest to raise awareness and encourage Canadians to take charge of their eye health.
