Meet Sokunvortey from Cambodia.

For years, she struggled in silence—unable to read the whiteboard or recognize her friends from a distance. At just 12, she realized her vision was blurry but didn’t want to burden her hardworking parents.

✨ Today, she can see clearly, study with confidence, and even encourages her classmates to get their eyes tested:
"Having good vision is the best!"

Did you know? 80% of what a child learns is vision-based.

From reading the board to recognizing words and exploring the world around them, clear vision is essential for learning and growth. Without proper eye care, children may struggle in school — not because they can’t learn, but because they can’t see.

This World Sight Day, let’s work together to ensure that every child has the opportunity to see clearly and reach their full potential. 🌍💚
