🧼👀 It's Global Handwashing Day.

Did you know that one of the simplest ways to protect your eyes is to wash your hands regularly?

Throughout the day, our hands come into contact with surfaces, screens and shared objects. Touching your eyes with unwashed hands can increase the risk of irritation and infection.

This Global Handwashing Day, show your eyes some love:

✅ Wash your hands with soap and water ✅ Avoid rubbing your eyes ✅ Keep contact lenses clean ✅ Practice good hygiene habits every day

Healthy hands help protect healthy eyes.

🍁 This Thanksgiving, we're grateful for the gift of sight.

As families gather around tables across Canada, we're reminded that many of life's most meaningful moments are experienced through vision, seeing loved ones' smiles, reading a favourite recipe, watching grandchildren play or enjoying the colours of autumn.

Good vision helps children learn, adults earn a living and older adults maintain their independence.

This Thanksgiving, we're thankful for compassionate supporters like you who help make sight-saving care possible for children, families and communities around the world.

What are you grateful to see this Thanksgiving?

🧡 Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Operation Eyesight.

💚 Today is World Mental Health Day.

Good health is about more than physical well-being. It includes our ability to learn, work, connect with others and participate fully in life.

Vision plays an important role in that well-being.

When vision problems go untreated, children may struggle in school, adults may face barriers to work and older adults may experience isolation and a loss of independence. Access to eye care can help people stay engaged, connected and confident in their daily lives.

That's why eye health is an important part of UN Sustainable Development Goal 3: Good Health and Well-being. Healthy vision supports better health outcomes, greater independence and improved quality of life.

This World Mental Health Day, let's remember that caring for our eyes is one way we can support our overall well-being.

For years, cataracts clouded Alfonsina's vision.

The 85-year-old grandmother from Kenya relies on her small farm to support herself and her grandson. As her sight worsened, everyday tasks became increasingly difficult.

Then cataract surgery restored her sight.

Today, Alfonsina is back on her farm, caring for her family and looking ahead with hope.

💙 Just $100 helps restore sight through cataract surgery and associated costs.

A simple procedure can mean the difference between dependence and independence.

🇰🇪👁️❤️Canadian supporters with connections to Kenya can help more people access care close to home. Learn how here: https://ow.ly/Rk2v50ZTLqZ
