Jenna is a supporter of the World Sight Day Challenge by donating the money received for eye tests performed on Thursday <strong>October</strong> 11. All the more reason to go for an eye examination that day as you’re looking after your own eyes and someone else’s eyes overseas as the money goes to setting up eye clinics abroad. World Sight Day is an annual day of awareness to focus global attention on blindness and vision impairment. <strong>The</strong> fundraising done globally has helped so many people already but there are over 1.2 billion people who are blind or vision impaired simply because they don’t have access to an eye exam and the glasses they need. Donations help fund schools of optometry and train other eye care professionals to be able to help provide access to vision care and glasses where currently no services exist. Leading causes of blindness worldwide are uncorrected refractive error (need for glasses), cataracts, glaucoma and macular degeneration. To think by simply providing someone with glasses can change their life is a reminder of how much we can help. At Hunters Hill Optical, Jenna collects old glasses to be taken overseas to help those in need. If you have any unused glasses, drop them in to Hunters Hill Optical at 58A Alexandra Street, Hunters Hill.
