PBT works to conduct vision screenings and bring eye health education to under-insured communities.
Prevent Blindness Texas (PBT) is the state’s leading eye health and safety nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing blindness and preserving sight. Our work benefits the community by providing a continuum of quality vision care to individuals, giving them a better quality of life. While it is difficult to imagine a life without vision, almost 6 million out of 28 million Texans will feel the effects of severe vision loss by the year 2050. We focus on improving the state’s vision and eye health by enhancing community capacity through our programs of early detection, patient support, systems enhancement, public policy, public awareness, and health education. Half of all blindness can be prevented, yet this can only occur through these essential interventions.
PBT has planned a 12-month campaign to increase the public’s understanding about the importance of safely protecting your eyes during the solar eclipses. Opportunities exist for companies to be a retailer of the Prevent Blindness eclipse glasses or be a partner of the eclipse campaign.
