Vision Loss Impact

[Matt: insert introduction perhaps including a fact like vision problems affect X in 5 Americans, and a call to action.]

Review the following resources, courtesy of Prevent Blindness, a powerful ally in the effort to reduce the impact of vision loss:

1. Review a searchable database of vision problems in the United States.
2. Check out a map showing the prevelance of vision problems by state
3. Explore a wealth of data in the Future of Vision report that will help you understand where we are headed in the future if nothing is done to address vision problems today.

See also "The Silver Book: Vision Loss," a joint effort of The Alliance for Eye and Vision Research (AEVR) and The Alliance for Aging Research (March 2012). [Matt: insert something about about why this resource is helpful or important. And make it two sentences so it fully wraps around the image to the left over here and makes the layout look good. Thanks!]
