NEW YORK – “The Our Children’s Vision global campaign has been launched to ensure we make child eye health accessible to children all over the world,” Kovin Naidoo, OD, MPH, PhD, FAAO, CEO of Brien Holden Vision Institute and campaign director for Our Children’s Vision, told Primary Care Optometry News here at Vision Expo East.

Naidoo said the group will engage governments to ensure policy change, and he encourages individual optometrists to get involved by adopting a local school and providing for children with vision care needs.

“We hope the funds we raise can subsidize this,” he said.
