Help Us Honor October Blindness Month

During October’s Blindness Awareness Month, the Foundation Fighting Blindness invites you to #ShareYourVision and raise awareness about the many ways people experience vision loss. Every moment offers a glimpse into that experience, from new perspectives and unexpected connections to things you’ve learned, adapted to, or simply wish more people understood. Share your story through video, written word, or audio, and help inspire understanding of vision loss and move research forward.

Interested in receiving exclusive information about the Share Your Vision campaign? Sign up today to receive updates, show your support and help raise awareness to end blinding diseases.
