My guest for this special episode is Peter Holland, Chief Executive of the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB). We speak about the importance of World Sight Day, and discuss how different initiatives, such as the Love Your Eyes campaign, have helped put eye health on the global agenda in collaboration with members and partners.

We also highlight how clinicians can leverage their voices and influence to share knowledge, shape policies, and strengthen cross-sector collaborations, leading to the development of important resources for patients and clinicians to improve care. We recommend visiting the IAPB’s website, and the websites of the nAMD Barometer Program and Vision Academy for more information on World Sight Day, and resources to help you in your clinic.
