Eye can virtually steal a child's sight if not diagnosed and treated before the age of six,” says Frank Carlomagno, Executive Director of the Virginia Affiliate.

The National Society to Prevent Blindness estimates that as many as 10,400 preschool-aged children in Virginia have some sort of vision problem, and a significant percentage of those cases ia undiagnosed.
