In support of the fight against blindness, the American Academy of Ophthalmology and its Foundation are participating in VISION 2020's World Sight Day campaign on Oct. 12, 2006. As a part of this awareness campaign, we are collecting signatures to show international support for tackling avoidable blindness.

On Oct. 12, all of the petition names will be collected and submitted to VISION 2020 in support of their World Sight Day Sign up for Sight Initiative. By adding your name to VISION 2020's petition below, you are taking a stand against avoidable blindness.
