  • About Us

    Founded in 1908, Prevent Blindness is the nation’s leading not-for-profit, voluntary eye health and safety organization dedicated to fighting blindness and saving sight. Focused on promoting a continuum of vision care through all life stages, Prevent Blindness touches the lives of millions of people each year by promoting eye health, safety, early detection and treatment. As we continue our sight saving mission into the next 100 years, we are fulfilling our vision of prevention through focused attention on our core public health competencies of early detection, patient support, systems enhancement, public policy, research, public awareness, and health education.
