Charity ball for VAO

In celebration of its 25th anniversary, Vision Aid Overseas will host a fundraising ball at the Royal Exchange in London on May 15.

With the intention of transforming eye care in developing countries, the charity has helped over a million patients since it was founded by a group of optometrists and dispensing opticians in 1985.

Tickets to the black-tie event cost £125 and are available to buy from www.visionaidoverseasball.net. Funding for the event from sponsors CIBA Vision, DX, Silhouette, TopCon and Transitions will ensure proceeds go on the work of VAO.
