Poorer children in the UK are more likely to:
be born blind
become blind in childhood
have blindness detected late ( treatment less effective)
have more severe eye disease ➡️blindness in adulthood
& less likely to be offered newer treatments.

Children get cataract too!
Early & appropriate treatment is key to good outcomes for the children and the adults they become (surgery is only the beginning).
