MARCH | 2026

Prevent Blindness has declared March as Workplace Eye Wellness Month to support healthy eyes for everyone in the workplace.

New data from the 2026 Workplace Vision Health Report, just released by VSP® Vision Care, showed a disconnect between workers and employers with only a quarter of survey respondents believing that their company cares a great deal about their eye health.

March 23-29 is Keratoconus Week

at Prevent Blindness

Keratoconus (keh·ruh·tow·ko·nuhs) is an eye disease that results in a thin, weakened cornea – the clear part of the front of the eye. Instead of a smooth, rounded surface, the cornea becomes irregular and stretches, creating a cone-like bulge that causes light to not focus well and results in blurred vision and visual impairment.

Prevent Blindness has published new fact sheets in English and Spanish available free for download along with a dedicated page on our website.

March 19, 7-8pm Eastern Time

Are you living with thyroid eye disease (TED) or have a family member who has been diagnosed with TED?



Join Prevent Blindness for a discussion on the latest in TED treatment and research. Learn how current treatments work in the eye, what types of clinical research are underway, and how to talk with your doctor about the right care for you. We’ll also review steps to identify and get involved in clinical trials. The session will feature Dr. Trevor Angell, a specialist in TED treatment and clinical research, as well as Richie Kahn, a patient advocate experienced in bringing the patient perspective into the clinical development process.
