RIYADH: In October, ºÚÁÏÉçÇø marks World Sight Day and White Cane Safety Day to raise awareness about eye health and promote the rights and care of people with visual impairments.

These observances highlight the causes of blindness, stress the importance of prevention and treatment, and encourage regular eye check-ups for early detection, especially as people age.

Ebsar Foundation CEO Amal Al-Hunaiti said the association is organizing several events throughout October to educate the community on vision health, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Tuesday.

She added that the foundation has launched a program for mothers of visually impaired children, highlighting their key role in supporting their children’s development.

The association has also arranged recreational outings for young blind people to promote social inclusion and teach the public how to interact with them.

It will also take part in the Global Health Exhibition in Riyadh later this month, reaffirming its commitment to raising awareness and advocating for better eye care.
