World Sight Day, observed annually on the second Thursday of October, is a global event meant to draw attention to blindness and vision impairment.

World Sight Day serves as a powerful reminder that our eyes deserve priority, not neglect. Vision is something most of us take for granted, until it begins to fade. Yet here’s a hopeful truth, according to IAPB Vision Atlas, up to 90% of sight loss is preventable or treatable with the right care, awareness and timely action.

World Sight Day 2025, is more than just a date on the calendar. It’s a global call to pause, reflect and take proactive steps toward safeguarding our vision. This year’s theme is ‘Love Your Eyes’, and it’s a reminder to put eye health at the forefront of our personal and collective well-being.

Today is the start of Black History Month here in the UK, and this year's theme is 'Standing Firm in Power and Pride'; to share stories of achievement, challenge racism, and help us understand one another more.
The influence, leadership and change propelled by members of the Black community, not just in the NHS but everywhere, deserves to be recognised and celebrated.
