Half of all blindness can be prevented through early detection and treatment. Today, 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.

HealthyEyes Program enhances the services of Ohio’s health-care volunteers, senior care staff, and public health networks by providing access to prevention, referral, and treatment resources for adult eye challenges. After completing the HealthyEyes portion of the program, you will be able to provide facts and information to help prevent vision loss.

The Adult Vision Screening portion of the program provides education on how to properly administer vision screenings for adults. This training provides participants with the opportunity to be an advocate for eye health and safety!
