Expressing support for the designation of February 2026 as "Low Vision and Vision Impairment Awareness Month".
This resolution (HRES 1090) expresses congressional support for designating February 2026 as "Low Vision and Vision Impairment Awareness Month" to raise public awareness about preventable vision loss. It does not create new laws or funding but highlights statistics showing millions of Americans face vision impairment, with significant health and economic impacts. The resolution urges better access to vision care information and promotes early detection for children and adults. It specifically calls on the Health and Human Services Secretary to improve surveillance and research on eye diseases, though it has no binding effect on policy or services.
