Friends For Sight® is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving sight through comprehensive vision screenings such as screening children for Amblyopia, which is lazy-eye blindness, Visual Acuity testing, and Glaucoma screening.

History:
Friends for Sight was established in 1955 as Prevent Blindness Utah. Our purpose is to provide vision screening for children for Amblyopia (Lazy-Eye Blindness) and preserve sight. Since 1955, over 510,000 children - that's over "A Million eyes" - have been screened. In addition, over 365,000 adults have been screened for Glaucoma, the sneak thief of sight. Since we established the high school drivers training vision screening program in March of 2001, approximately 98,627 students have been screened in schools throughout the state.
