Prevent Blindness is proud to support the introduction of the #EDVIAct. This landmark, bipartisan legislation will establish the first federal program to specifically address children’s vision. We call on Congress to #SupportTheEDVIAct and invite advocates to do the same: https://advocacy.preventblindness.org/prevent-blindness-legislative-action-center/#/

Prevent Blindness applauds @RepGusBilirakis and @RepVeasey for their bipartisan leadership in introducing the #EDVIAct. Contact your Member of Congress and ask them to support children’s vision and eye health: https://advocacy.preventblindness.org/prevent-blindness-legislative-action-center/#/ #SupportTheEDVIAct

Early detection and intervention of vision problems can help a child avoid preventable vision loss and blindness. The #EDVIAct is an important step in providing children with the services and eye health care they need and deserve. #SupportTheEDVIAct

Did you know that there is no specific federal program that addresses children’s vision and eye health? The #EDVIAct is bipartisan legislation that seeks to change that. Learn more and act today to help pass this important bill! https://advocacy.preventblindness.org/prevent-blindness-legislative-action-center/#/

The #EDVIAct would establish the first federal program to address children’s vision and eye health. Without it, children face numerous challenges accessing the vision and eye health services they need to thrive. Contact your Member of Congress and ask them to #SupportTheEDVIAct: https://advocacy.preventblindness.org/prevent-blindness-legislative-action-center/#/

The path to eye care for children is not always clear. The #EDVIAct promotes a system of care—including early detection (such as vision screening), referral to eye care, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up to care— that ensures that childhood vision problems are caught and treated before progressing to unnecessary permanent vision loss. Learn more here: https://advocacy.preventblindness.org/edvi-act-of-2024/

The #EDVIAct creates resources for states and communities to use to improve children’s vision and eye health. Congress can pass the #EDVIAct to help ensure children have access to sight-saving eye care.
