October is Blindness Awareness Month


Prevention & early detection

Common causes include diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration. Routine eye exams catch problems sooner.

What doctors say

People with diabetes, family history of glaucoma, or vision changes should keep dilated exams, manage blood sugar and blood pressure, and follow treatment plans.

Accessibility & inclusion

Use large-print materials, high-contrast graphics, alt-text on images, and audio options at church, school, and work.

Declaration: We commit to see people fullyโ€”honoring dignity and removing barriers.

Prayer: God, sharpen wisdom for prevention and provide resources, technology, and compassionate helpers. Amen.
