October 8, 2008 World Sight Day
http://v2020.org
The second Thursday of October is observed as World Sight Day every year to create awareness to focus global attention on blindness and vision impairment. The key message of 2009 World Sight Day is "Gender and Eye Health-equal access to care". Upto 80% of cases of blindness are avoidable, either resulting from preventable conditions (20%) or being treatable (60%) so that sight is restored. Prevention and treatment of vision loss are among the most cost-effective and successful of all health interventions.
