World Sight DayThursday 13 October 2011
 An estimated 284 million people worldwide are visually impaired, yet 80% of cases are due to causes which could have been prevented, treated or cured. 90% of blind people live in developing countries, and this needless waste costs individuals, families and communities billions of dollars every year. The event aims to help others recognise blindness and vision impairment as global public health issues. Find out more at Vision 2020.
