We invite you to join us for the World Sight Day Conference, an afternoon dedicated to exploring the future of vision health in Canada.

About the Event
The goal of this conference is to raise awareness about the intersection of eye health research, lived experience, mental health, and accessibility. With the theme “Act Now, Act Together” we will highlight the urgent need to influence policies, amplify voices, and ensure that inclusive decision-making is at the heart of vision health.

By bringing together data, research, and lived experience, this event will create a platform for meaningful dialogue and collaboration. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of how to drive action and build partnerships that support lasting change in the vision health landscape.

Highlights of the Conference

  • Engaging presentations from researchers, advocates, and individuals with lived experience.
  • Discussions on mental health, accessibility, and inclusive policy-making.
  • A light lunch with sandwiches will be provided for attendees.
  • A networking hour to connect with colleagues, advocates, and leaders in the field.

This is an opportunity to learn, connect, and commit to making a difference!
