Prevention
Be aware of risk factors that can affect your sight. Make eye health a priority by eating nutritiously, quitting smoking and avoiding dangerous UV rays from the sun.
Vision 2020
The Lighthouse collaborates with global partners, including the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB),
to develop strategic plans that address - and prevent - vision
impairment. We partner in the IAPB's WHO "Vision 2020: The Right to
Sight" campaign to eliminate avoidable blindness worldwide in less than
two decades.
Healthy Vision 2010
The Lighthouse is a participant in the National Eye Institute's "Healthy Vision 2010" prevention initiative to improve the eye health of Americans in only a few short years.
