Our Vision

We aim to globally eliminate preventable early childhood blindness. Our Vision: prevent children from losing theirs.

Our Mission

We raise public awareness of the Glow (leukocoria) and the more than twenty different glow-related eye diseases and drive action to prevent childhood blindness.

Our Purpose

We help parents see their child’s vision in a new light. Because no child should go blind from a preventable eye disease.

Join The GLOWbal Movement!

Eye diseases are affecting children worldwide.  We want to share personal stories from "The Glow" families around the world, providing hope and inspiration to families with children fighting Glow-related diseases.

Why is early detection important?

Early detection is important because childhood eye diseases are 80% curable and/or preventable.

Which age group is the most overlooked in terms of early detection?

The age group is 0-5 years.

Why is spotting "The Glow" important?

'"The Glow", medically known as leukocoria, is an abnormal reflection from the retina of the eye and appears as a white, opaque, or yellow spot in the pupil of the eye in photos taken with flash.

It is a clue that can help identify one of 20 different eye diseases.
