SEC. 2. FINDINGS; SENSE OF CONGRESS.

(a) Findings.--The Congress finds as follows:
(1) An estimated 80 million Americans have a potentially
blinding eye disease, and more than 19.1 million Americans
report trouble seeing, even with eye glasses or contacts. At
least 1.1 million Americans are legally blind, and 200,000
Americans experience profound vision loss. Refractive errors
affect approximately one third of persons 40 years or older in
the United States. Visual impairment is one of the 10 more
frequent causes of disability in the United States.
(2) While it is believed that half of all blindness can be
prevented, the number of Americans who are blind or visually
impaired is expected to double by 2030.
(3) Vision loss can, especially without appropriate
rehabilitation and skills training, significantly impact an
individual's ability to conduct activities of daily living, as
well as developmental learning, communicating, working, health,
and quality of life.
(4) One in twenty preschoolers experience visual impairment
which, if unaddressed, can affect learning ability,
personality, and adjustment in school.
(5) It is estimated that blindness and visual impairment
cost the Federal Government more than $4 billion annually in
benefits and lost taxable income, and cost the United States
economy approximately $51.4 billion annually in direct medical
costs, direct non medical costs, and indirect costs such as
lost productivity and wages.
(6) Vision rehabilitation helps people with vision loss to
live safely and independently at home and in the community,
reduce medication errors, cook and perform other daily
activities reliably, and avoid accidents which may lead to
injury or even the onset of additional disabilities, especially
among older persons living with vision loss.
(7) Recognizing that the Nation requires a public health
approach to visual impairment, the Department of Health and
Human Services dedicated a portion of its Healthy People 2010
initiative to vision. The initiative set out as a goal the
improvement of the Nation's visual health through prevention,
early detection, treatment, and rehabilitation.
(8) Greater efforts must be made at the Federal, State, and
local levels to increase awareness of vision loss and its
causes, its impact, the importance of early diagnosis,
treatment, and rehabilitation, and effective prevention
strategies.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that the
Nation must have a full-scale integrated public health strategy to
comprehensively address vision loss and its causes that, at a minimum,
includes the following:
(1) Communication and education.
(2) Surveillance, epidemiology, and prevention research.
(3) Programs, policies, and systems change.
