World Sight Day will be held on Thursday 9th October 2025.
This is an annual event always held on the second Thursday of October. It is a global event to draw attention to blindness and visual impairment.
The theme this year is “Love your eyes” and aims to raise awareness of avoidable blindness and vision loss.

Helen Keller (1880 – 1968) was a famous American author, disability rights campaigner, political activist and lecturer who lost her sight and her hearing when she was 19 months of age after a bout of illness. A famous quote of hers is “Blindness is an unfortunate handicap, but true vision does not require eyes”
