Healthy Swellness: World Sight Day and ClearlyContacts.ca and Change the View’s #whoblinkedfirst

October 9, 2014

Thursday, October 9th, 2014, is World Sight Day. And to help raise awareness and to help prevent vision loss, Change the View in partnership with ClearlyContacts.ca is launching a global #whoblinkedfirst campaign.

And you can help and it’s so easy to do so — all you have to do is share the #whoblinkedfirst video on social media on World Sight Day, and ClearlyContacts.ca will give the gift of sight on your behalf — they will donate a pair of prescription eyeglasses, Vitamin A tablets or UV protective sunglasses to someone in need.

There are 285 million people in the world who are visually impaired and 80 per cent of these impairments are preventable.

Just a quick share of the #whoblinkedfirst video on social media on the 9th is all it takes — you can even just retweet my tweet. Consider it your good deed of the day.
