HRES 1147 United States House · 117th Congress

Expressing support for the designation of May 2022 as Healthy Vision Month to promote eye care, thereby helping Americans of all ages maintain healthy vision that can keep you safe and active each day.

This resolution expresses the U.S. House of Representatives' support for designating May 2022 as "Healthy Vision Month" to promote eye care awareness. It does not create new laws, funding, or programs - it is a symbolic gesture recognizing the importance of vision health. The resolution references statistics about vision impairment affecting millions of Americans, including higher risks for older adults, certain ethnic groups, and women, but has no binding effect on policy or services. It aims to raise public awareness about eye care, not to change existing healthcare systems or regulations.
