An Update on Pediatric Keratoprosthesis (WJOVR) - Iris Publishers

An Update on Pediatric Keratoprosthesis (WJOVR) - Iris Publishers

As we see ourselves one year closer to the year 2020, we ask ourselves if we are closer  to  accomplishing  the  World  Health  Organization’s  “Vision  2020,”  a  project  aimed  at eliminating  the main causes of avoidable blindness  by  the year 2020 [1]. A top priority of this ambitious  initiative is the prevention of childhood blindness. Blindness in children is complex; it affects, in addition to eyes, a child’s neurologic development. Further, childhood blindness requires resources   from and collaboration between medical, community, and educational services to nurture the growing child. Providing sight to a child who may otherwise go blind is thus more than just about restoring vision [2].
