PPB INITIATIVE

MOST VISUAL IMPAIRMENT IS AVOIDABLE

THE PROBLEM
Young children cannot report the symptoms of congenital eye abnormalities. Early onset ocular problems and refractive error can only be found through vision screening. Late diagnosis leads to adverse outcomes in early development and education, and worse, the condition can become too advanced for treatment.

THE GOAL

Reduce pediatric avoidable blindness worldwide with mass eye screenings before 5 years of age.

THE RESPONSE

Treating uncommon disease requires collective expertise and collaboration to drive meaningful advances. The best answer we have for preventing irreversible blindness is early screening, diagnosis, timely treatment, and patient centered care. The strength of the PPB Model is its ability to identify the causes of visual impairment that are specific to each region and then refer those children for appropriate care.
