OCTOBER NEWSLETTER
World Sight Month!
Optometry Giving Sight is a global fund raising organization
that specifically targets the prevention of blindness and impaired
vision due to uncorrected refractive error - simply the need for an eye
exam and a pair of glasses. This organization was first launched in the
UK in 2003, followed by Australia and the Netherlands in 2004, the
United States and Canada in 2005, and Italy in 2006. In 2009, Optometry
Giving Sight launched in Norway, Singapore and Ireland.
Our eyes are the most valued sense. We see the world though our eyes. We
learn with our eyes and communicate with our eyes. A person should not
be limited by poor vision because they do not have access to eye
examination and the glasses they need. At least
670 million people around the world are blind or vision impaired.
Order in the month of October and a A Sight For Sport Eyes will donate 5% of every order to Optometry Giving Sight to help raise the funds needed to deliver sustainable eye care to those in need.
