US HR1090

Designates February 2026 as "Low Vision and Vision Impairment Awareness Month" to raise awareness about preventable vision loss and blindness

Recognizes that approximately 12 million Americans over age 40 have vision impairment, with vision problems projected to cost the U.S. nearly $206 billion in 2026 in medical costs, productivity losses, and government program costs

Notes that 90% of vision or sight loss is preventable or treatable, and early detection of diabetes-related eye disease can reduce blindness risk by 90%

Encourages the Secretary of Health and Human Services to provide patient and provider education on eye diseases, prioritize vision loss surveillance through the Vision and Eye Health Surveillance System, and conduct additional research on eye diseases

Supports access to vision care information and services at community health centers and federally qualified health centers, particularly for children and aging Americans
