The mission of the Retina Foundation of the Southwest is to prevent vision loss and restore sight through innovative research and treatment.
Vision loss during childhood can impact a child’s ability to learn important skills for growth, development, and independence, such as crawling, walking, reading, writing, and playing sports.
