Lions World Sight Day – Focusing Attention on
Preventing Blindness and Improving Sight
For more than 10 years, Lions World Sight Day, held
annually in October, has focused attention on eliminating preventable
blindness and improving sight. On World Sight Day, Lions clubs around the world
conduct special sight-related projects including:
-
Conducting vision
and diabetes screenings.
-
Planning
educational programs to inform their communities about the importance of eye
health – and diseases such as diabetes that can impair sight.
