A Continued Partnership of Love and Cultivation in Vision Care Evolution
AEG Vision
Improving the health of our neighbors by helping them take care of their vision, one patient at a time.
Prevent Blindness & AEG Vision
Jan. 8, 2024 – (Texas) Prevent Blindness, a nationwide leader and non-profit organization focusing on creating vision care solutions for all people, has been a powerhouse regarding the health of the same people AEG Vision cares for, too. AEG Vision began a journey with the organization in 2018 and has made monumental efforts to help with its eye wellness and education initiatives.
Many do not know the great purpose of this relationship for our patients and the AEG Family. AEG Vision has supported different POV (Person of Vision) and Golf events every year since 2018. We began offering our voucher program for free exams and glasses in Ohio in July 2022 and Texas in October 2022. In 2023 alone, AEG furnished 528 eye exams and glasses through its AEG + PB voucher program. The Round Up to Prevent Blindness program provides opportunity for AEG Vision’s patients to “round up” their purchase to the nearest dollar, which will, in turn, be donated to Prevent Blindness. AEG Vision’s Alan Gunner, who is a board member of Prevent Blindness, plans to expand the voucher program outside Ohio and Texas in 2024. Alan says, “AEG is committed to helping Prevent Blindness any way we can.? For example, in addition to the above, we recently had an employee frame sale at the company’s headquarter in Dallas that raised $775 for Prevent Blindness.”
In October 2023, AEG Vision partnered with Prevent Blindness to provide all AEG employees and their families with Prevent Blindness eclipse glasses to protect their vision during the annular solar eclipse. With the upcoming Total Solar Eclipse on April 8th, once again, AEG Vision plans to send out Prevent Blindness eclipse glasses to all employees and their families as they witness one of the most amazing astronomical events of our lifetime.
AEG Vision plans to continue to advocate for the overall wealth and health of our communities' vision care and the capabilities for all to access innovative solutions and materials to better the quality of life.
