Kids Corner - NIH's Pediatric Eye Disease Investigator Group Needs Your Help!
The NIH's Pediatric Eye Disease Investigator Group (PEDIG) is working to create an amblyopia treatment decision resource (think: amblyopia app for non-peds specialists) to help comprehensive eye care providers treat children with amblyopia or possible amblyopia using the most up-to-date evidence.
The goals of this amblyopia treatment decision resource project are to:
- Provide support and education to eyecare practitioners:
- In areas where access to pediatric eye care is limited
- Increase confidence in treating children with amblyopia
- Help clarify times when further workup or referral to a pediatric eyecare or other specialists may be considered
- Improve visual outcomes for patients with amblyopia
Here’s the link to the 5-minute online survey we hope private practitioners or any non-peds eye doc will complete to help PEDIG develop this amblyopia app:
