Essilor,
the world’s leading ophthalmic optics company, joins everyone
around the globe in observing World Sight Day (WSD) by launching a
campaign called “Love to See Change,” an online program that
encourages everyone to commit to having their eyes checked within the
year.
Essilor’s
“Love to See Change” invites Essilor employees and the general
public to pledge their commitment to have their eyes checked through
the website, www.lovetoseechange.com/en/
starting
October 13 through the end of 2016. For the first 100,000 users who
will make a pledge, the Essilor Group will donate $1 on their behalf
in favour of a local initiative that supports healthy vision for
those in need.
Every
year, Essilor actively participates in WSD initiatives for the
promotion of good eyesight through various programs and events held
across different countries around the world. In 2015 alone, the
company has initiated an astounding 23,284 vision tests in more than
49 countries worldwide. This is in line with Essilor’s mission of
improving lives by improving eyesight.
World
Sight Day is organized by the World Health Organization and is
observed annually every second Thursday of October. It is a part of a
global action plan aimed at decreasing needless visual impairment,
generating data about the magnitude and causes of visual impairment
and encouraging nations to adopt eye health policies.
Be a
part of this important global event. It starts with you taking a
pledge: get an eye check-up before the end of the year and
participate in the “Love to See Change” Campaign.
