With a mission to prevent blindness and preserve sight of all Americans, Prevent Blindness America (PBA) represents all Americans at risk of vision loss from eye disease or injury. Blindness and vision impairment represent a significant human and economic toll on individuals and society.
Prevent Blindness America’s affiliates and divisions screen millions of children and adults each year for potentially sight-threatening vision problems. Prevent Blindness America’s partners in prevention support research into the treatment and cure of eye disease.
