NAB believes preventing blindness is as important as providing rehabilitative services to the blind; in fact blindness prevention is one of NAB's mission statements. So, around five decades ago, in June 1959 – to be precise - NAB constituted under its auspices, the National Society for the Prevention of Blindness (NSPB). NSPB through support of the Government and international funding agencies significantly contributed to ophthalmic research and community eye health, at national level. Blindness can be preventable. However, lack of awareness about eye ailments delays treatment thereby leading to sight loss. Bearing this in mind, the committee trained some 1300 teachers in detecting eye defects in children and took remedial action. In 1996 NAB decided to establish a special department to manage this activity. Hence came into being NAB Kaikhushroo H. Chinoy Centre for Prevention of Blindness.
