Optometry Giving Sight to Host a “Twitterchat” on World Sight Day

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. Eye care and industry professionals are invited to participate in the chat by following and using the hashtags #shareforsight, #givingsight, and #ourchildrensvision.

This is Optometry Giving Sight’s second year hosting a Twitterchat as a part of its annual World Sight Day Challenge.

“Last year’s Twitterchat was a great success and we are excited to have the opportunity to connect with vision care professionals and parents through social media on the important topic of children’s eye health, including efforts being undertaken as part of the Our Children’s Vision Campaign,” said Clive Miller, Global CEO of Optometry Giving Sight.
