The eyes of a child are small miracles. Preventable vision loss is a huge tragedy. If we can look into the eyes of every child, we can prevent the preventable. We can treat the treatable. We can correct the correctable.
It starts with an eye screening, continues with proper treatment, and ends with a child who sees clearly for life.
The Children's Eye Foundation is the official foundation of the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (AAPOS). AAPOS is dedicated to promoting the highest quality medical and surgical eye care worldwide for children and for adults with strabismus. AAPOS is the largest and most well-respected professional organization of pediatric ophthalmologists in the US.
As such, the CEF of AAPOS is uniquely positioned to end preventable vision loss in children.
