Diversity in childhood vision impairment – key findings from the Australian Childhood Vision Impairment Register

The Australian Childhood Vision Impairment Register has been gathering data on children for nearly 10 years. It is the only national database that has ethics approval to collect data from both the child’s family and from their eye health professional.

This presentation will outline the key findings from the last 10 years and discuss the trends that demonstrate the diversity in this population of children and therefore the need for services to respond to and support this diversity.
