Thank you for participating in our 2010 advocacy efforts and our President's Day Congressional District visits February 16-19, 2010. As you know, in honor of the President's Day holiday on February 15, we are asking you to meet with your Representative and Senators while they are home on recess from Congress next week.
Prevent Blindness America is advocating for FY 2011 resources to support and strengthen programs to preserve sight, research the causes of eye disease and vision loss, improve early detection and diagnosis of eye disease and vision loss, and advance prevention and treatment efforts for patients.
Share your story of vision and eye health with your Member of Congress! Please help Prevent Blindness America advocate for vision and eye health by sharing your story with your Representative and Senators. Eye and vision health issues affect all Americans.

I was just told two weeks ago that I have cataracts in both eyes and will require eye surgery. On a scale of 1 - 10 I am a 5 as far as vision loss is concerned. Our Lake County Health Department does not offer this surgery. I am 59 years old and a former realtor. I currently have a used bookstore on eBay but can barely see and only earn approximately $200.00 a month. Where can I go to get help? Thank you!
