To prevent blindness and preserve sight. We do this for Indiana residents through screening, follow-up treatment, education and public awareness. Our vision for all Hoosiers is Sight for Life.
Our History
Prevent Blindness Indiana originated from a society organized in the mid-1940s and became Prevent Blindness America’s (PBA) first affiliate in 1950. In 1981, Marilyn Glick founded the People of Vision (POV) auxiliary to assist Prevent Blindness Indiana in its sight-saving endeavors.
