Oh, what sights we'll see!
Walk. Run. Paddle. Ride. Swim. However you like to move, join the ‘7 Sights Challenge’ to help save Australians from glaucoma blindness. By taking part you’ll not only raise funds for critical patient education and support services that prevent vision loss but you’ll help fund the ground-breaking research that improves treatment outcomes and saves sight.
This March, challenge yourself to Find, Snap and Share seven sights. Together we can take glaucoma out of the picture.

The Challenge
The 7 Sights Challenge is all about appreciating our precious peepers. Look at what you can see! How amazing is that? Imagine not seeing that ever again, because glaucoma stole your sight.
We are calling on you to join the mission to take glaucoma out of the picture. Because every snap taken and every sight shared reminds us how precious our eyesight really is.
Glaucoma affects 1 in 50 Australians and is the leading cause of preventable yet irreversible vision loss and blindness. Your fundraising efforts will help end glaucoma blindness through early detection, better treatment outcomes and support services that improve quality of life.

We welcome this wonderful campaign, which asks Australians to reflect on the wonders of sight and reminds people not to take their eye health for granted.

The 7 Sights Challenge is a potent reminder that your sight enables you to do things you may take for granted, such as going for a run, riding a bike, snapping a photo or simply seeing your loved ones.
