Vision Outreach® - Eye Examinations for Underpriviledged Adults
In 2000, Prevent Blindness Georgia began serving homeless, uninsured and working poor adults through Vision Outreach, a program that provides basic eye care for Georgia’s neediest. The unique model of taking vision screeners, eye doctors, equipment, ophthalmic technicians and even eyeglasses on-site to agencies allows us to identify those with eye disease and refer them for further treatment. Over the past eight years, we have identified hundreds of cases of eye disease that, if left undiagnosed, would lead to blindness.
Prevent Blindness Georgia partners with agencies around the state to provide eye care for their clients. To find out more about client services, call 404.266.2895. To view a list of our Vision Outreach partner agencies visit the Partners page of our web site.
