Children’s eye health is the focus of a Twitterchat to coincide with the 11th annual World Sight Day Challenge on World Sight Day, Thursday, October 12, 2017. The Twitterchat, aimed at parents and eye care practitioners around the world, will take place from noon–1:00 p.m. ET, and is hosted by Optometry Giving Sight.

Helping to moderate the discussion will be: All About Vision, ABB Optical, Bausch + Lomb, CooperVision, Essilor of America, EyePromise, FYidoctors, Vision Source, VSP Vision Care and ZEISS.
