Half of all blindness can be prevented through early detection and treatmentToday, there are 3.8 million Ohioans affected by vision problems, which if not detected and treated early, could lead to blindness. Because of the growth in the aging population, there will be more Ohioans affected by vision robbing conditions. The impact of vision loss on the individual, his or her family, and Ohio is a significant public health concern.

  • Perform near and distance visual acuity screenings
