Central Susquehanna Sight Services (CSSS) has been providing vision screenings and eye health education programs and services for the blind and visually impaired of our communities for over 75 years. 


CSSS provides services to residents of Columbia, Montour, Northumberland, Snyder and Union Counties in central Pennsylvania.  


A member of the Pennsylvania Association for the Blind, we are currently the only agency in the area that specifically serves people who are  blind or visually impaired. We believe in helping people help themselves.

Our prevention programs take a proactive approach to addressing the approximately 50% of blindness that is preventable. Our vision screening program for preschool children can help to identify vision problems that can influence a child’s performance in school and limit everyday activities, while screenings for adults can identify degeneration of vision due to chronic disease or other health conditions. 

 

In 2024, 1,349 preschool children and 18 adults participated in vision screenings with 170 being referred for a professional eye examination.  


With our eye health and eye safety educational programs, 1,057 preschoolers, 451 first graders and 350 adults attended a variety of programs.

Our programs for people who are blind or visually impaired are built on the idea of autonomy, as we believe that visual impairments should not prevent a person from living a fulfilling and self-sufficient life in their own home.  


The Support Services program offers services such as reading mail, form completion, preparing bills for payment and grocery shopping.  Our transportation programs assist those who are blind or visually impaired maintain their health by providing medical transportation and sighted guide escort.
