Reports
Children’s eye health is an important and challenging issue across the world. If left untreated, childhood vision impairment generally continues into adulthood and working life, causing substantial impacts through a child’s life. This report reviews the socioeconomic impact of low vision and blindness from paediatric eye disease in Austrlia.
