Dine in the Dark was an awareness-raising event during which guests participate in a sit-down meal while blindfolded to simulate the everyday experiences of those with vision loss. Inspired by the successful Dine in the Dark at the European Parliament in late 2018, GCOA, the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness, Lighthouse Guild, National Council for the Blind of Ireland (NCBI), the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA), and the Permanent Mission of Antigua and Barbuda to the United Nations brought this unforgettable event to the United Nations to highlight the urgent need for countries to prioritize action on eye health. Coming on the heels of the release of the first ever World Health Organization World report on vision, Dine in the Dark UN united policy makers, policy influencers, and other key stakeholders from the public, private, and NGO sectors around a shared priority to reduce the burden of avoidable vision loss.
