A Strong System for Children’s Vision: Advancing the Early Detection of Vision Impairments for Children Act

Join VisionServe Alliance and special guests Sara Brown, Senior Director of Government Affairs, and Kira Baldonado, Executive Vice President of Prevent Blindness for an exclusive webinar introducing the Early Detection of Vision Impairments for Children Act (EDVI Act, HB2527)—a groundbreaking piece of legislation that could transform the future of children’s vision health in the U.S. This session will discuss the current state of children’s vision and systems of care in the U.S. and dive into the six key pillars of the Act. Together, these pillars create a comprehensive framework to ensure education about the role for eye health in children, improve early detection and access to eye care, improved surveillance, and ensuring children with vision impairments are connected to critical services- such as vision rehabilitation, orientation and mobility training, educational supports, and family services that help them thrive.

Together, we can ensure that no child falls through the cracks when it comes to vision health and support services.
