Childhood Vision Legislation

One in every 677 live births in the United States has a treatable eye
disease that will blind the child if not detected and treated
properly. These diseases include cataracts and a childhood cancer
called retinoblastoma. If left untreated, retinoblastoma can kill
your child. The Rare Cancer Alliance is supporting the efforts of the
"Love Joey" campaign to make parents aware of how easily these
diseases can be detected and treated, if proper diagnostics are used.
There is important legislation being condsidered in the state of
Florida that may put an end to the threat of these diseases in that
state. If you know of a parent, expectant parent, grandparent, or
caregiver in the state of Florida, we ask that you pass this
information on to them. And PLEASE, pass this along to others.

YOU MAY SAVE THE VISION OR THE LIFE OF A CHILD!!

campaign and information on detecting these diseases in your infant.
