Prevent Blindness Wisconsin is a not-for-profit volunteer organization founded in 1958.
Today with a small staff and thousands of volunteers, we have grown and expanded our sight-saving programs throughout the state.
Prevent Blindness Wisconsin provides free, direct sight-saving services throughout Wisconsin. In 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 non-profit organization and are supported entirely by voluntary contributions from individuals, corporations, family foundations, organizations, special events, and bequests. Our fiscal year is April 1st through March 31st.
Our Mission: Founded in 1958, Prevent Blindness Wisconsin improves the lives of children, adults and families through early detection of eye conditions to prevent blindness and preserve sight. On-going vision screening activities and state-wide public health education lead to a lifetime of healthy vision.
Our Vision: Our vision is for each Wisconsin resident to have healthy vision at every stage of life.
