The International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB) the global alliance for eye health each year coordinates the annual World Sight Day, today Thursday 12 October 2023, raising issues around eye care for everyone across the world. With this year’s ‘Love Your Eyes at Work’ campaign they are highlighting the importance of eye care in the workplace.

On World Sight Day 2023 IAPB are also publishing a study which shows how better eye health could help to improve the economy of many countries around the world with the UK economy being boosted by a potential £10 Billion which is double the revenue of the UK film and TV industry.
