World Blind Union Events For World Sight Day 2020.

The 8th of October 2020 is World Sight Day, with events taking place across the globe.

Globally, at least 1 Billion people have a near or distance vision impairment that could have been prevented or has yet to be addressed.

The WBU will be highlighting the latest World Health Organisation's report on sight loss, as well as hosting online events for everyone to join in with.

RNIB Connect Radio's Allan Russell spoke to Dr Fredric K Schroeder, President of the WBU, to learn more about the day and what the global umbrella group has on offer.
