Countess of Wessex throws support behind #LoveYourEyes campaign ? Royal Central

The Countess of Wessex has thrown her support behind the #LoveYourEyes campaign launching today on World Sight Day (14 October).

In an effort to show her support, the Countess visited Perseid School in London to encourage everyone to get their eyes tested. The school educates children from 3-19 with learning disabilities and special education needs.

Her Royal Highness, who serves as an IAPB Global Ambassador, said: ?The key thing I have learnt with all my work from Vision 2020 and IAPB is that the vision sector has really come together over the years, especially for World Sight Day. What is really inspiring to see is that best practices are so easily shared through IAPB. These best practices can hopefully influence everything else and improve the lives of millions around the world who have poor vision.?

Anything to help young children to learn and grow as decent human beings is a huge positive step in the right direction of what royals are all about.....I have always admired the Countess of Wessex as she is a very hard working lady, some in the family that are no longer in the family could learn so much from her about dignity and grace.
