Latest #BCVIS childhood blindness paper: Progress seen in high-income nations, but #implementation remains crucial for prevention.
Attention to non-preventable/treatable disorders is vital, esp. for transitioning economies. #GlobalHealth #Prevention https://t.co/lpJ1erSDkA

Very very interesting paper https://t.co/Vd18QfheLD it is behind a firewall but the results are there for all - thank you @Rahi_Eye_Vision and Teoh et al .

48% of this cohort - disorders of the brain and visual pathway.

Very interesting indeed 👍
