Eclipse + Your Eyes

A solar eclipse with an epicenter in Texas is unique and special—just like your vision! PBT wants to ensure you experience these events as safely as possible. Visit our Solar Eclipse Page, mark your calendars, and follow us for more information. We have planned a 12-month campaign to increase the public’s understanding about the importance of safely protecting your eyes during the solar eclipses. Opportunities exist for companies to be a retailer of the Prevent Blindness eclipse glasses or be a partner of the eclipse campaign.

Women’s Health & Vision Symposium
Date: November 2, 2023
Location: Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens
Women’s health care has made great strides in the past two decades. The recognition that women have different health care needs than men has enabled changes to take place in clinical care, research, and education. Join PBT in the mission of advocating for women in the vision field.
Prevent Blindness Texas’ Women’s Health & Vision Symposium is an evening focused on highlighting women and discussing how to empower women in their eye health and overall health. This event is an opportunity to candidly discuss how women navigate the healthcare system both as a doctor and patient. For more details and to register click here.
