Optometry Giving Sight has launched the 2026 World Sight Day Challenge, marking the 20th anniversary of this annual, 2-month fundraising campaign that runs September 1 through October 31. The Challenge unites a global community of optometry practices, schools, students, and industry partners in raising funds to bring sustainable vision care to communities without access. 

This year’s campaign theme—It's not just sight. It's an entire future.—reflects the transformative impact that a single eye exam or pair of glasses can have on a person's life, education, and livelihood, Optometry Giving Sight said in a press release. The organization added that this year's campaign features new contests and a digital toolkit.
