    By SINESIPHO GOQWANA

    Today marks the 18th annual World Sight Day. This day is held on the second week of October
    and is co-ordinated by The International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness, together
    with the World health Organization.

    World Sight Day aims to raise awareness on vision impairments with the theme for this year being: Vision First.
    These impairments include blindness, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and cataracts.

    The Agency argues that millions of people around the world go blind or suffer from vision impairment due
    to causes that could be treated or preventable. It is therefore imperative that everyone has their
    eyes examined every two years for optimal ocular health.
