Screening Education Training
Prevent Blindness Nebraska's vision is for all Nebraskans to enjoy a lifetime of good vision!
SCREENING  
Screening the eyes of children and adults throughout Nebraska each year, our vision screenings help detect preschoolers at risk of vision loss from lazy eye (amblyopia) and adults threatened by glaucoma or other serious vision problems.

EDUCATION
By working through numerous venues to get the word out on better eye health through brochures, fact sheets, special events and our website and links, we educate Nebraskans about early detection of eye disease and prevention of accidents that can cause permanent loss of sight.
