Founded in 1965, Prevent Blindness Georgia (PBGA) is the state affiliate of Prevent Blindness, the leading voluntary eye health organization dedicated to the prevention of blindness and the preservation of sight. With a mission of preventing blindness and preserving sight, Prevent Blindness Georgia annually provides vision screenings for nearly 40,000 prekindergarten children as well as vision screening training for school and public health nurses to make sure our state's children are "vision ready" to learn. Prevent Blindness Georgia also provides free eye exams, retinal scans, and prescription glasses to uninsured Georgians through a network of free health clinics and community agencies that serve the homeless, victims of domestic violence, Veterans, migrant farm workers, and others who would otherwise be without eyecare.

At PBGA's 60th Anniversary Night for Sight Gala, Dr. Stephen Lipsky reminded us why children's vision care is critical and cannot wait. For over 25 years, Dr. Lipsky has dedicated himself to helping children see clearly, learn confidently, and step boldly into their futures.

His unwavering commitment to kids and families embodies PBGA's mission that every child deserves the vision care they need to thrive. Every screening, eye exam, and pair of glasses brings us closer to a world where all children can see clearly.

Thank you, Dr. Lipsky, for championing the futures of Georgia's children and inspiring PBGA's work to make a brighter world possible for every child.

💙You can be part of this mission. Support PBGA today and help ensure that every child in Georgia has access to the vision care they need. Together, we can protect vision - and unleash futures! 💙👁

At our 60th Anniversary Night for Sight Gala, we were honored to recognize Dr. Taz Bhatia for her leadership, voice, and unwavering commitment to the health and well-being of children and adults across Georgia.

Her message on stage reminded us of something we know to be true: providers are the heartbeat of vision care. Every exam, every diagnosis, every moment spent educating and advocating for a family helps move the needle forward and change lives.

We are profoundly grateful for the physicians, specialists, nurses, optometrists, school partners, and every provider who stands with us to ensure Georgians receive the eye care they deserve. Your dedication makes our mission possible!

Thank you, Dr. Taz MD, for inspiring us, and thank you to all the providers who help us protect sight across the state. 💙👁
