About World Sight Day

World Sight Day (WSD) is an annual day of awareness held on the second Thursday of October, to focus global attention on blindness and vision impairment. WSD is co-ordinated by IAPB under the VISION 2020 Global Initiative. The theme and certain core materials are generated by IAPB. All events are organised independently by members and supporters. On World Sight Day, VISION 2020 members work together to: raise public awareness of blindness & vision impairment as major international public health issues; influence Governments/Ministers of Health to participate in and designate funds for national blindness prevention programmes; educate target audiences about blindness prevention, about VISION 2020 and its activities, and to generate support for VISION 2020 programme activities.

About Windows to Health

The 'Windows to Health' campaign is a Pfizer Ltd UK initiative designed to raise awareness of the importance of having regular eye tests, not only to identify eye conditions such as glaucoma, but also as a method of identifying other health problems, for instance diabetes and high blood pressure.

The research for Pfizer was carried out online by Tickbox.net/Opinion. Matters between 22/08/2008 and 27/08/2008 amongst a nationally representative sample of 2297 UK adults aged 16+. Tickbox.net adhere to and follow the codes of the MRS (Market Research Society) and are fully registered and compliant with the Data Protection Registrar.
