Our Philosophy

Light for Sight is uniting clinical institutions, research groups, patient organizations and the private sector in order to achieve one mission to eliminate severe visual impairment among all children and adolescents with keratoconus. The flagship program of Light for Sight is “Light for Sight 21”, which aims to reduce severe visual impairment among children and adolescents with Down Syndrome, who have a very high prevalence for the disease.
