There are more than 29 million adult Americans currently affected by vision problems that if not detected and treated early, could lead to vision loss. Many of these are the result of sight-threatening age-related eye disease, such as macular degeneration, cataracts, glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy.For more than 100 years, Prevent Blindness America, the nation’s oldest eye health and safety organization, has made it its mission to protect vision. The group has launched the Prevent Blindness America “Healthy Eyes Educational Series,” a free program designed to build public awareness of eye and vision basics, common adult vision disorders, eye safety precautions and proactive behaviors that give the best chance for a lifetime of healthy vision.
