OneSight Hosts Vision Awareness Events on World Sight Day

On October 14, OneSight will host a series of global vision awareness events as part of World Sight Day, an annual day to focus global attention on blindness, visual impairment and rehabilitation of the visually impaired. Created by the World Health Organization, this day is observed around the world by organizations that exist to help preserve and restore clear vision.

“By taking time to experience these common vision problems firsthand, our employees can better understand the realities faced by our customers and OneSight patients,” said Greg Hare, OneSight Executive Director. “Our employees are passionate about helping the world see. This kind of experience brings additional meaning to the significance of our everyday work and our charitable efforts to provide clear vision to millions in need through OneSight.”

The public is invited to celebrate World Sight Day and join the “OneDay for OneSight” experience by visiting our “Blurry to Clear” tool that demonstrates the realities of not having clear vision through three OneSight program recipient stories. The public can also get involved by donating used eyewear and dollars to support OneSight programs.
