Happy 20th anniversary, Vision of Children! This year we celebrate two decades of milestones and successes in our tireless effort to accomplish our Mission, to cure hereditary childhood blindness and vision disorders, and to improve the quality of life of visually impaired individuals and their families. This Mission has guided our research, funding, scholarships, and computer monitor programs for the visually impaired. Twenty years ago, genetic research into ocular albinism ( OA ) didn't even exist. Now, the VOC supports 23 researchers at 12 institutions worldwide, and helps fund studies for over 25 associated genetic eye disorders. That's progress, and that's success!
