The Vision Council would like to thank the greater eyewear and eyecare industry, as well as its member organizations, for their support of National Sunglasses Day 2019. Without your outstanding efforts to promote the commemorative date in the retail, consumer and trade media, and general consumer spaces, the campaign wouldn't have been nearly as successful.
