“PROJECT PREVENTION: Reducing the Incidence of Blindness in NJ”

Schedule of Community-Based Free Eye Screenings

National Researchers say: “50% of all cases of blindness or severe vision loss could have been prevented by early detection of disorders and the appropriate follow-up care.”

The NJ Department of Human Services, Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired believes that every resident of NJ has the right of access to services that will prevent or limit the impact of vision loss. We are very proud that, for over 30 years, CBVI has provided services in the areas of eye health and eye safety by offering free vision screenings for adults and children with a concerted effort to provide these services to historically underserved sectors of the population (low income, elderly, minorities and individuals with special needs).

Project Prevention Services:
*Preschool Screening *Adult Vision Screening *Mobile Unit Screening
*Diabetic Eye Screening *Migrant Screening

CBVI has established and continues to seek out opportunities for partnerships with other community groups and agencies to provide vision screenings in every region of the state and comprehensive services to our consumers. When necessary, Project Prevention also refers eligible individuals to other service units within CBVI to further assess their needs.

All eye screenings are provided at no cost to the individuals screened or to the host community centers that sponsor them.
