The ability to see deeply affects how human beings perceive and interpret the world around them. For most people, eyesight is part of everyday communication, social activities, educational and professional pursuits, the care of others, and the maintenance of personal health, independence, and mobility. Functioning eyes and vision system can reduce an adult's risk of chronic health conditions, death, falls and injuries, social isolation, depression, and other psychological problems. In children, properly maintained eye and vision health contributes to a child's social development, academic achievement, and better health across the lifespan. The public generally recognizes its reliance on sight and fears its loss, but emphasis on eye and vision health, in general, has not been integrated into daily life to the same extent as other health promotion activities, such as teeth brushing; hand washing; physical and mental exercise; and various injury prevention behaviors. A larger population health approach is needed to engage a wide range of stakeholders in coordinated efforts that can sustain the scope of behavior change. The shaping of socioeconomic environments can eventually lead to new social norms that promote eye and vision health. Making Eye Health a Population Health Imperative: Vision for Tomorrow proposes a new population-centered framework to guide action and coordination among various, and sometimes competing, stakeholders in pursuit of improved eye and vision health and health equity in the United States. Building on the momentum of previous public health efforts, this report also introduces a model for action that highlights different levels of prevention activities across a range of stakeholders and provides specific examples of how population health strategies can be translated into cohesive areas for action at federal, state, and local levels.

Excerpt from The Blind in the United States: 1910 Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith a report on the blind in the United States in 1910. The material for this report was obtained in part at the general population census of 1910, at which the inclusion of a question regarding the existence of blindness made it possible to distinguish and tabulate for the blind as a separate class the data covering the subjects of sex, age, race, nativity, marital condition, and occupation. After that census was taken, in order to obtain data on subjects which, for the most part, had no significance except as related to blindness, a supplementary schedule was mailed to each person reported as blind. The questions on this schedule covered degree and cause of blindness, age when vision was lost, existence of blindness among relatives, education, economic status, and occupation before blindness. The data which were derived from the population census have previously been published in Bulletin 130, but the data derived from the supplementary schedules appear for the first time in the report herewith submitted. The report contains also a summary of the laws in the several states relating to the education and care of the blind and the prevention of blindness. This report was prepared in the Division of Revision and Results under the general direction of Joseph A. Hill, expert special agent. The analytical text is mainly the work of Reginald L. Brown, who also had immediate charge of the tabulation of the data. The bureau is indebted to Dr. Oscar Wilkinson, of Washington, for advice and assistance in classifying the returns relative to the causes of blindness. Dr. G. E. De Schweinitz, of Philadelphia, president of the American Ophthalmological Society, and Dr. E. G. Seibert, of Washington, kindly consented to examine the proof of the report. The bureau has reason to be gratified by their commendation of its work and at the same time is under obligations to them for some helpful criticisms and suggestions. As was the case at the census of 1900, the returns have been utilized not only for statistical purposes but also for supplying, upon request, lists of the blind enumerated in particular states or localities, including names, addresses, and other personal data, for the use of schools, libraries, workshops, or other institutions for the blind. In this way the bureau has, no doubt, been instrumental in extending the philanthropic work carried on by various public agencies in behalf of those afflicted with blindness.
