In 2013, World Sight Day will be celebrated on 10 October by the World Health Organization (WHO) and partner organizations around the world to focus attention on the global issue of avoidable blindness and visual impairment. The theme of this year’s campaign is “Universal eye health”, under the slogan of “Get your eyes tested”. As we age, vision in general deteriorates.
