Hundreds of people will benefit from the money raised by Taank Optometrists in their recent raffle to spread awareness of World Sight Day.

This yearly event helps raise awareness and money for those in developing countries that are in great need of primary eye care such as sight tests, donation glasses and simple but sight saving operations.

John Reynolds from Guide Dogs for the Blind in Cambridgeshire helped draw the raffle, the top prize being a necklace from independent jewellers Harriet Kelsall.

Anjana Taank has supported the charity for three years now “It’s easy for us to take good vision for granted so taking the World Sight Day challenge is a great way to raise funds to help people who don’t have access to even basic vision care”.
