Chicago, IL – Prevent Blindness, the nation’s leading eye health and safety nonprofit organization, has announced the 13th Annual Prevent Blindness Focus on Eye Health Summit. This virtual, interactive event will take place on July 10-11, 2024. The theme for this year is “Being Seen and Heard,” with a focus on promoting a person-centered approach to vision health. Registration is now open, and all interested parties are encouraged to sign up to participate in this important event.

This event is designed for a diverse audience including patient advocates, community-based organizations, vision and eye health organizations, researchers, public health experts, healthcare providers, educators, government agency staff, legislative staff, and corporate partners. Attendees will gain valuable insights on topics such as the impact of social determinants on eye health disparities, innovative strategies and technologies in eye health, and how to engage individuals to reduce barriers to care and create meaningful policy and programs.

What makes the Focus on Eye Health Summit unique is its comprehensive agenda, which includes keynote presentations, reaction panels, and interactive discussions. The event features esteemed speakers like Stacey B. Lee, JD, Professor of Law and Ethics at Johns Hopkins University, and panelists from leading health organizations. The second day of the summit will include a focus on the role of artificial intelligence on vision health- from early detection of eye disease to support for those with vision loss. Additionally, the summit offers networking opportunities through chat features and social media engagement using the hashtag #EyeSummit.
