Today is “World Sight Day” and Optometry Giving Sight demands attention for the prevention of blindness and low vision caused by uncorrected refraction errors. Worldwide about 600 million people suffer from blindness or a lack of sight because they simply have no possibilities to have their eyes examined or corrected. On the occasion of this “World Sight Day” CooperVision announces to become a Global Platinum Sponsor of Optometry Giving Sight in order to support the organization in finding more sponsors who will help to make eyecare available worldwide. Besides this, CooperVision will start its own One Bright Vision campaign in November 2012 targeting to make 100.000 eye examinations possible for children in Tanzania.
