I am not familiar with this organization and will look into it. Thanks for bringing them to my attn!

Re: working with orgs, we're interested in partnering with those committed to advancing quality eyecare for all population segments. We're currently working with nonprofits like LightHouse for the Blind to bring eyecare to those with low vision. I've personally referred many patients to LightHouse and think that they provide a valuable resource to an otherwise overlooked portion of eye patient population!

One last point here. Re: slowing down myopia progression, I personally think atropine is the most promising intervention!
