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:

• Collecting eyeglasses.

• 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.
