World Sight Day 2009: Gender and Eye Health


World Sight Day 2009 falls on October 8 this year. Two-thirds of blind people worldwide are women & girls. In many countries, men's access to eye care is twice that of women. Recognising these and many other such facts, the WSD theme for 2009 is Gender and Eye Health.

The VISION 2020 website features updates, downloadable material and images that could be used in your campaigns this World Sight Day. Please visit the Promotional Materials page on the VISION 2020 website for more of the same. Do keep us informed of your plans.

The VISION 2020 website will include WSD09 report and case studies document soon!
