World Sight Day 2020 ( Highlights )
World Sight Day 2020 was observed by Al Baseer Foundation as part of the global campaign promoting the theme “Hope in Sight.” The initiative aimed to increase awareness about preventable blindness and encourage communities to prioritize regular eye examinations and early diagnosis. Through awareness activities and outreach programs, the foundation highlighted the importance of protecting vision and ensuring that quality eye care services remain accessible to everyone.

Participants, healthcare professionals, and volunteers joined together to advocate for better vision care and to educate people about common eye conditions that can lead to vision loss if left untreated.
