August is Children's Eye Health and Safety Month.
According to the 2024 National Survey of Children's Health:
"Healthy vision in children supports school readiness, learning, and long-term economic well-being."
Eyes change quickly as children grow. It's better to catch a problem while their eyes are still developing. At least 1 in 5 preschoolers enrolled in Head Start have a vision problem. $10 billion annually is the estimated cost of vision problems in children.
This month, Central Susquehanna Sight Services will share important information about children's eye health.

Our mission is:
• to help prevent vision loss through vision screenings and education
• to support people who have vision loss or blindness in leading independent lives.
CSSS provides central Pennsylvania residents who are blind or visually impaired with the supportive programs and services needed to live fulfilling and self-sufficient lives in their own homes.
Our vision screening and educational programs proactively target the approximately 50% of blindness that is preventable through early detection of vision problems and education on good eye health and good eye safety.
CSSS assists low-income individuals who have no vision insurance coverage with purchasing eyeglasses.
