…To continue our program of mass screening of one–four-year-old children for amblyopia with a digital photoscreener that can be operated by non-medical personnel.

…Payment of, or reduction in, the cost of the prescription eyeglasses or lenses required for treatment of underlying eye disorders.

…To distribute in Africa a half-million field test kits to diagnose childhood ambliopia.

…Is to have every preschool child's eyes tested and corrective measures performed by ophthalmologists and other professionals with experience in screening and treating amblyopia. Only 3–4 percent of children in the U.S. receive eye care services before the age of six.
