World Sight Day 2026: A Day Dedicated to Eye Care with an Extra -10% Off All Eyewear
How often do you really think about your vision? Our eyes work constantly from the moment we wake up until the end of the day, following every movement, every screen, every journey and every moment we want to enjoy. World Sight Day, on October 8, reminds us how important it is to give our eyes the attention they deserve.
On the occasion of this year's World Sight Day, Markakis Optical Centers, Markakis White Eyewear and Markakis.gr are celebrating with a special offer: extra -10% off all eyewear, for one day only. On October 8, you can refresh your prescription glasses or sunglasses and find the pair that matches your lifestyle, online or at our physical stores, using the code WED10.
World Sight Day: Why does it matter?
World Sight Day is a global opportunity to turn our attention to eye health and the importance of good vision in our everyday lives. This year's campaign continues the #LoveYourEyes message, reminding us that taking care of our eyes deserves a place on our everyday agenda.
Vision is about much more than how clearly we see. It affects the way we work, move around, drive, exercise, communicate and enjoy the small and big moments of our day.
And that's exactly why World Sight Day is the perfect opportunity to take a little pause and ask yourself: do the glasses I wear today really meet my needs and match my style?
Eye care starts with everyday choices
Prescription glasses for clear and comfortable vision
Prescription glasses are more than just an essential everyday accessory. The right frame and the right lenses can naturally become part of your everyday routine and follow your lifestyle, from your morning meeting to a walk around the city.
Whether you prefer a minimal and timeless look or love oversized designs and more fashion-forward frames, the choice is personal. What matters is that your new pair combines comfort, a proper fit and an aesthetic that reflects who you are.
Sunglasses: protection with style
Sunglasses are also an essential part of our everyday look, especially in a sunny country like Greece. A good pair of sunglasses combines UV protection, comfort and personal style.
From a classic aviator to a bold oversized frame or a sporty model, the right pair can become the ultimate finishing touch to any outfit.
October 8: The perfect excuse for a new pair of glasses
World Sight Day is the perfect opportunity to look at your eyewear from a different perspective. Does your frame need an update? Would you like a second pair for different occasions? Or maybe it's time to invest in a design that better reflects your current vibe?
On October 8, the choice becomes even more tempting, as you can enjoy extra -10% off all eyewear, online and at our physical stores.

Did you know that vision affects much more than how we see?
Good vision plays an important role in many everyday activities. From reading and working to driving, sports and interacting with the world around us, our eyes are constantly at work.
That's why World Sight Day is a great reminder not to put our eye health aside and to seek appropriate professional guidance whenever needed.
Extra tip: If it has been a while since your last eye check, today is a great opportunity to put it back on your agenda.
When was the last time you had your vision checked?
Everyday life moves fast, and we often forget to pay attention to things we take for granted. Vision is one of them.
If you notice changes in your vision, difficulties with everyday activities or simply if it has been a long time since your last eye check, it is important to consult the appropriate healthcare professional for an evaluation.
At the same time, choosing the right eyewear can be an opportunity to refresh not only your vision but also your personal style.
