decorative banner

This toolkit, developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), can help state, tribal, local, and territorial public health agencies and their partners in four important ways: (1) assess the level of vision impairment in their communities, (2) build effective partnerships, (3) implement effective and sustainable interventions to improve vision and eye health, and (4) evaluate the impact of vision-related interventions. Each section of the toolkit includes a narrative called “From the field” that describes case examples of how public health professionals are promoting vision and eye health at state or local levels.
