Supporting global eye health with Orbis International: How we are making a difference this October

Oct 9, 2024

At Babiators, we believe that protecting children’s vision is one of the most important things we can do. That’s why this Octoberwe are partnering with Orbis International to improve eye care around the world for World Sight Day (10th October).

Orbis are a leading global charity focused on improving eye care around the world. For every pair of Babiators frames sold during the month of October, we will donate £1 to support Orbis in their mission to improve vision care and outcomes for all.

Why are we partnering with Orbis International?

Orbis International works tirelessly to prevent avoidable blindness and restore sight in regions where eye care is limited or inaccessible. Through their state-of-the-art flying eye hospital, in-country programs, and global advocacy, Orbis brings quality eye care to communities that need it the most.

Their mission aligns perfectly with our commitment to eye health and ensuring that children, no matter where they are, have the opportunity to see the world clearly.

What Is World Sight Day?

World Sight Day is an annual event held on the second Thursday of October to raise awareness about vision impairment and blindness. Coordinated by the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB), the day serves as a global platform to promote the importance of good vision and highlight the need for better access to eye care services.

Why eye health matters to us at Babiators?

For children, good vision is key to learning, playing, and fully experiencing the world around them. At Babiators, we understand the importance of starting early to protect young eyes from the harmful effects of UV rays and environmental factors that can damage vision over time.  

As a brand dedicated to creating high-quality, stylish, and durable eyewear for children, eye health is at the core of everything we do. We design our frames to ensure that young eyes are protected from long-term sun damage. But we know that protecting vision goes beyond just the frames we sell—it’s about creating a world where every child has access to the eye care they need to thrive.

How can you help?

Simply purchase any of our frames throughout October! So whether you’re looking for stylish sunnies or blue light blocking screensavers, we’ve got something for your tot.
