IAPB statement:

Nearly everyone on the planet will experience an eye health issue in their lifetime and more than a billion people worldwide do not have access to eye care services. To address the bigger picture at the country and global level, we need to be aware of our own eye health, and so our theme for 2021 is all about #LoveYourEyes. #LoveYourEyes is all about being aware of your own eye health and if you can get a sight test or recommend others do the same.
