History
Prevent Blindness Northern California was started by 3 prominent opthalmologists from Stanford and was one of the pioneer preschool vision screening programs in the country. In the past 40+ years, we have screened over a million people, resulting in the detection of thousands of cases of potentially blinding eye diseases that were caught while still in a treatable stage. Thanks to our over 300 volunteers, we are able to provide direct vision screening services to about 25,000 children and 1,000 adults annually.
Specialties
PBNC exists to screen for vision problems in pre-school aged children in the Bay Area, to connect and provide them with better vision care, and to improve their ability to learn and grow. PBNC offers child-focused vision screenings, follow-up care, and access to glasses, as well as training and education for health professionals to administer screenings.
