Who We Are, What We Do
Tuesday, October 18, 2011 by George Beauchamp MD
The mission of the Children’s Eye Foundation is the elimination of preventable blindness in children. As the Foundation of the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (AAPOS), our focus is on children, families, and adults with strabismus.
We seek to provide information that will facilitate the best outcomes for conditions that affect the eyes and visual system. The cardinal principle is that early detection of problems has a highly beneficial effect on the outcomes of most eye problems in children.
To these ends, the CEF has ongoing programs to assist families and colleagues in these pursuits, including:
- See By Three: vision screening, amblyopia, and disease detection in the medical home. We collaborate with colleagues in pediatrics to bring tested and effective techniques to early detection.
- Public awareness and information:
- See by Three brochure – details important warning signs of problems in infants and children
- 2012 Eye Care for Kids calendar – raises awareness about vision disorders and the need for early detection and treatment
- Amblyopia 411 – a resource for children and parents managing amblyopia treatment
- Research: we support and participate in research to assess the most effective programs in early detection.
The CEF also recognizes and supports a higher intelligence. We embrace the “secret of the universe”: Mothers know things that no one else can know about their children. A mother’s concern is trustworthy, and should be honored by all!
Join in the conversation! Help us to do a better job for you.
George Beauchamp, MD
Chairman, Children’s Eye Foundation
