What is World Sight Day?
Are Your Eyes Good Enough For The Road?
1 in 5 drivers can't see the road clearly. Find out if you are driving on the road with poor eyesight, by visiting www.putvisionfirst.com and taking the online eye examine.
After completing your free eye examine, commit to following up with a comprehensive eye exam from an eye care professional. For everyone who makes this commitment, Essilor will donate $1 to Our Children’s Vision and Essilor Vision Foundation to help millions of children around the world see better.
In line with the Essilor Group's mission – ‘improving lives by improving sight’ – WSD is a key movement to raise awareness and alert people to the critical need for vision screening and appropriate eye care. Essilor invites all road users to adopt 3 good habits to improve their sight:
- Check your vision regularly - You can check your vision on www.putvisionfirst.com
- Wear appropriate glasses - Not all eyewear is created equally!
- Protect your eyes from glares - Glares slow down detection and reaction time!
