Your best eyes for life
Your eyes are your forever friends, always looking out for you. It’s time to return the favor. Make a lifelong commitment to healthy vision habits and preventive eye care. Prevent Blindness can help.
Healthy habits,
happy eyes
For a lifetime of happy, healthy eyes, good habits are key. Eating a diet rich in vitamins A, C, and E such as sweet potatoes, oranges, and avocados can help reduce the risk of eye disease. Regular eye exams can detect early signs of more than 270 diseases and help prevent vision loss.
1 in 4 students have vision issues that may impact learning
Because so much of classroom learning is visual, vision impairments can hold kids back. A comprehensive vision screening for kids makes sure their eyes are working together as a team. When students can see clearly, there’s no limit to what they’ll achieve.
Don’t lose sight
of eye safety
90% of eye injuries can be prevented. Wearing protective eyewear at work, at home, and at play—every time—is a simple habit that makes all the difference. Eye safety looks good on you!
