World Sight Day 2024 A Call to Action for Child Eye Health 👀🌍 On October 10, 2024, we observe World Sight Day, a vital reminder of the significance of eye health, particularly for our children. This year, we emphasize the urgent need for accessible, affordable, and comprehensive eye care services for children. Key Facts about Vision Loss in Children and Adolescents 👶 450 million children globally are affected by sight conditions needing treatment. 👁️ 90 million children live with some form of sight loss. 🔍 448 million children and adolescents suffer from refractive errors. 🔍The prevalence of vision loss varies significantly between regions and countries. 🔍The decline in blindness from conditions like corneal blindness due to vitamin A deficiency and measles is encouraging, but many children still need vision care. This World Sight Day, let’s commit to raising awareness about child eye health. By advocating for better eye care services and resources, we can help shape a future where every child has the opportunity to see clearly and thrive. Together, we can make a difference! 💪✨ #WorldSightDay #ChildEyeHealth #VisionCare #EyeHealthAwareness #Youreyes #yourvision Reference International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB)
