Prevent Blindness

Purpose 

   - This website's priority is to focus on the eye health national summit which has become a key venue to elevate the national dialogue sound vision and significant public health. Their mission started in the early 1900s when they realized 30 percent of blindness was easily preventable in children.

Navigation 

   - Navigating through this website is very easy being that everything is very straightforward and categories are very imposing. They have worked to provide a strategic plan to help others understand their goal, why its important to honor the history and those who suffer from blindness. The plan is to promote coordination of vision and eye care health, fundraising and making the proper approach. 

Additional Resources  

     - While exploring the website I noticed that there were more articles and menu options rather than links to their information. https://preventblindness.org/prevent-blindness-establishes-center-for-vision-and-population-health/
While looking through the different articles and their news updates you will gain a lot of information about different conditions, history and myths. A myth that stood out was about how carrots do NOT improve your vision. https://preventblindness.org/common-eye-myths/
     
       Informational links to help get a better understanding on preventing blindess:   https://preventblindness.org/eye-problems-adults-children/

The intended audience are parents and people of society who feel as if someone they know could use the information. The webpage has given various types of information about the plan that was started to make this possible. This group is conducting, promoting and implementing their plan to other states and also to others who are interested in this study.
