The World Sight Day Golden Ticket

To celebrate World Sight Day, we will also be giving candidates the opportunity to enter our World Sight Day Golden Ticket draw.

Candidates who apply for an OF Examination and complete payment during World Sight Day week will be automatically entered into the draw for the chance to win complimentary registration for an OF Subspecialty Examination.

It’s our way of celebrating World Sight Day while helping ophthalmologists take the next step in their professional journey with The Ophthalmology Foundation.
