Program areas at Prevent Blindness Wisconsin

Community Service-Prevent Blindness Wisconsin's vision screening programs harness a statewide collective effort of thousands of partners and volunteers to support vision health for hundreds of thousands of Wisconsinites across the lifespan. Certified vision screenings detect children and adults with potential vision problems and refer them to further vision care; early detection and treatment of vision problems improves treatment outcomes, prevents permanent vision loss, and ensures children have healthy vision for academic success and adults maintain independence and quality of life.
Professional Education and Training-Prevent Blindness Wisconsin builds local vision screening infrastructure and makes vision health a priority in communities across Wisconsin through Professional Education and Vision Screening Training and Certification. Vision Screener Training certifies partners and volunteers to provide evidence-based vision screening for children and/or adults and is valid for three years. Certified Vision Screeners are also trained to implement vision health education and follow-up and case management support to ensure referred children and adults can access needed vision care.
