with amblyopia in one eye and the potential for amblyopia in the other. I was scared that
my little boy might go blind.”
“We have seen such a difference in Brody. The way he looks at things, his alphabet skills.
It’s like a whole new son. Thank you Prevent Blindness Florida!”

Your Donation to Prevent Blindness Florida…
Helps Children…
We help children receive important eye health and safety
education and vision screening. Our children’s vision screening program supports the work of optometrists and ophthalmologists.
In an effort to educate young children about the importance of eye
safety, we provide an eye safety curriculum.
Helps Adults…
To identify people at-risk for eye disease, we provide freevision screenings. In partnership with Florida Department of Health, we provide monthly screenings at select county health department clinics and assist families with vision care.
We also provide Healthy Eye Seminars by partnering with Florida Department of Elder Affairs. Through our educational efforts, we are able to increase awareness about age-related eye diseases and the importance of receiving professional eye exams regularly.
Provides Assistance…
Your donation assists to provide free vision screenings, exams, eye glasses or treatment for blinding eye diseases. Adults
and children qualified through our screening program are offered a consultation to assist them. We
partner with several organizations and businesses such as LensCrafters, For Eyes, Optimart and EyeCare America.
In addition, we provide our Vision Resource Guide which includes additional resources, both local and national, for vision care to those in need.
