Ways to Give

The mission of Prevent Blindness Texas is to prevent blindness and preserve sight. Our vision is vision — making healthy eyes a priority in Texas.

Prevent Blindness Texas is focused on advocating for improved health equity, empowering children, adults, and seniors to experience life at the highest level, and improving overall health, including physical and mental health, by preventing vision loss and addressing eye health issues across the entire health spectrum.

You can help us achieve this! 

Your generosity makes progress possible to improve health equity for the populations we serve, increase access to quality vision care for children and adults to strengthen learning and development, to help aging adults remain mobile and independent, to improve the overall health and quality of life for the clients we serve, and elevate vision health as an important and critical component of overall health.
