In late February, coalition members attended the annual advocacy event "Eyes on Capitol Hill" sponsored by Prevent Blindness. Over two days, CVMA advocates informed members of Congress about children's vision and eye health, emphasizing the importance of early identification of vision problems. CVMA members told their vision stories, encouraging Congress to work toward policies such as comprehensive tracking that support early access to appropriate interventions and vision treatments before the condition progresses.
We thank our CVMA members Drs. Danielle Ledoux and Bruce Moore, Shanyn Toulouse, Rachel Bennett, Bindy Fleishman, NECO 3rd year student Lauren Butler and Paulette Tattersall, as well as the staff of Senators Warren and Markey, Representatives Moulton, Pressley, Auchincloss and Trahan for our lively discussions!
