"I sure appreciate the opportunity to make a recurring monthly donation to Prevent Blindness Texas. Giving a substantial amount of money all at once is not always easy, but that doesn't change the fact that I want to give a particular amount of money for the year. Having the donation be reoccurring ensures that I will not forget to make my monthly contribution." John McMahan, MBA, ABOC Will you join John and become a recurring donor? https://bit.ly/PBTPatrons #PreventBlindness #GivingBack #EyeHealth

Early detection and treatment of diabetes is essential, as the risk of developing significant vision loss and blindness increases the longer someone has diabetes. Diabetes-related eye disease can cause you to have trouble reading, seeing faces across the room, seeing at night, or even blindness.

"For me, giving is about driving meaningful change that reaches far beyond just one person. PBT’s work is essential in advocating and empowering those impacted by vision issues, and real change takes time, resources, and support to have the biggest impact. By contributing monthly, I want to help make this possible, backing the people dedicated to improving lives through awareness, education, and prevention. I believe in living by the motto, “Be the change you want to see in the world,”and make a difference wherever and however I can." Dr. Layla Lohmann Will you become a recurring donor? https://bit.ly/PBTPatrons #PreventBlindness #GivingBack #EyeHealth
