Each year more than four million babies are born in the United States. Of these children, approximately one in twenty requires the specialized medical expertise of a pediatric ophthalmologist (Eye M.D.) to avoid permanent loss of vision. Despite the great need, there are currently only a small number of ophthalmologists who have the expertise and specialized training to care for children with eye problems. |
Our organization isdedicated not only to bridging this gap and ensuring that all children receive proper medical care, but also to encouraging more physicians to enter the field of pediatric ophthalmology. To assure a future that eliminates preventable blindness in children, we have key programs underway. Please join with us on this magnificently gratifying journey. |
