Today, more than 90 million children and adolescents live with some form of visual impairment.Because eighty percent of what a child learns is processed visually, undiagnosed vision impairment in children affects not only their social development and health, but can also negatively impact their professional careers.
We prioritizes timely diagnosis and comprehensive eye care for children, from screening and early identification of eye care needs to referral, provision of care, and long-term followup.
Our programs are embedded in schools and local community networks to increase eye care awareness and ensure that children with vision problems get the ongoing care they need. Local vision centers build awareness and provide consistent access to basic eye care. Children in need of more advanced care are referred to partner hospitals with specialized facilities and staff.
Help us insure that the next generation is free of avoidable blindness.
