Childhood blindness |
|
Childhood blindness is one of the main priorities in VISION 2020 (joint program of WHO and IAPB): |
|
• causes of blindness in children differ from those in adults and require different strategies; |
|
| • delay or absence in treatment during the early stages may lead to conditions which are not treatable in adults, such as amblyopia; | |
| • treatment for children requires specialized training, knowledge, skills, and equipment; | |
