UCSD EyeMobile for Children

UCSD EyeMobile for Children This unprecedented program provides the vision needed to succeed in school and in life to low-income children throughout San Diego.

Our signature community ophthalmology focus area is the "Save Our Children's Sight" program in conjunction with the Ratner Children's Eye Center. This comprehensive program is the only one of its kind in the world providing vision screening, exams and follow-up care to children two to six years of age. The "Save Our Children's Sight" program effectively addresses and overcomes the transportation,

language, cultural and financial barriers that face most disadvantaged populations. We have successfully reached out to 140 preschool and Head Start locations in San Diego County with the necessary vision care that will prevent long-term vision problems and blindness. Since January 2000, we have screened over 20,000 low-income preschoolers for serious eye disorders. Over 4,000 children were referred for complete eye examinations and glasses, and/or specialist eye-care, as necessary. We also carry out development testing to document the impact of the wearing of glasses on improving the learning potential and development of children.
