Facts About Blindness

Facts about Blindness

Thousands of people in the United States become blind every year. It need not be a tragedy. Being informed about blindness can make the difference, and learning more can help you gain understanding and acceptance of blindness and the possibilities that await you or someone you know.

The prevalence of vision loss in the United States has been a matter of research and debate for decades. The National Federation of the Blind maintains relevant blindness statistics.
