#HopeInSight Photo CompetitionAs they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. The World Sight Day photo competition can be a great opportunity to highlight eye health successes and also document unmet need. Together, we can work towards building support for blindness prevention and to ensure universal eye health. We run the photo competition to mark World Sight Day, an annual day of awareness to mark avoidable blindness and vision impairment.
This competition has been possible because of photographers from around the globe who have generously contributed their photographs. Over 6000 eye care photos have been submitted since 2015. We thank Bayer for supporting the World Sight Day Photo Competitions.
