Abstract
The actual number of blind persons in the United States is the subject of perennial question, since there is no detailed census which provides that information. Nothing short of enumeration, if that were practicable, could provide results positively known to be accurate. Programs of services to the blind and in prevention of blindness require for their basis as accurate an estimate of the prevalence of blindness as can be obtained. In these pages are the most recent reliable estimates of the prevalence of blindness in the respective states as of July 1952.Keywords
