Our mission is to prevent blindness and preserve sight. Prevent Blindness Wisconsin works diligently toward one goal: healthy vision for all ages.

Description:
We provide free, direct sight saving services throughout the State. By implementing these services, we prevent blindness by identifying early signs of vision disorders, facilitating early and effective treatment,and preventing eye injury. We are a not-for-profit organization and are supported entirely by voluntary contributions from individuals, corporations, family foundations, organizations, special events and bequests. We are not a United Way agency and we do not receive state or federal funding.
Prevent Blindness makes a difference through free screenings for very young children through older adults, educational programs, eye health and safety materials, presentations and workshops.
In Dane County, we provide vision screening at daycare/preschool centers through our Preschool Vision Program.

History:
Forty-five years ago, a dedicated group of volunteers began, what is now Prevent Blindness Wisconsin. Free programs were initiated in the Milwaukee area and have gradually spread throughout the state. Today, with a staff of eight and thousands of volunteers, we have grown and expanded our programs throughout the state.
