August Congressional Recess

The U.S. House of Representatives has adjourned for August recess, and the U.S. Senate is expected to adjourn on August 7. Prevent Blindness America has asked our grassroots and grasstops advocates to attend town hall meetings over the August recess to talk to Members of Congress about the importance of eye and vision health and ask how eye and vision health are addressed in health care reform legislation before both chambers. We are grateful to have such strong vision advocates who call upon Congress to support eye and vision health. Both the House and the Senate will reconvene on September 8.
