Now you do. Every 11 minutes another person in America goes blind. Incredibly, half of these people lose the miracle of sight needlessly. Together, we can prevent this from ever happening. Blindness and visual impairment exact a great price from individuals and society.
Vision loss robs people of their independence, mobility and quality of life.
Since 1908, Prevent Blindness America has fought vision loss through public and professional education, community and patient services programs and research. Our innovative programs and services have saved the sight of countless Americans. You can help Prevent Blindness America protect the gift of sight by supporting our many sight-saving programs. There are many ways you can help Prevent Blindness America. Donate, volunteer, make a tribute in the name of a loved one.
