VEP for Kids to See (http://www.facebook.com/vepforkids) is dedicated to sharing Nora's story to help bring awareness to the role of early detection and intervention to save children's vision, and, in some cases like Nora's, to save children's lives. Is your pediatrician using this unique test? Probably not, and that is why this story is so important....

Eight-month old Nora Turner had her vision, eyes ...and ultimately her life...saved by this simple, but unique vision test given by her pediatrician during her six-month regular well visit. If Nora's family had not moved to Connecticut in the past year for her father's new job, she wouldn't have had this vision test. Her prior hometown pediatric practice did not use VEP vision testing. This new vision test ultimately lead to the early detection of her cancer, called Retinoblastoma (RB), a rare form of eye cancer that appears in children under the age of five. Without the early detection afforded from taking the VEP vision test as early as six months old, the outcome may have been very different for Nora and the Turner family. 

The test, known as the Enfant® Pediatric VEP Vision Test, is currently available in just 500 pediatric offices nationwide (there are 27,000+ pediatricians in the U.S.), so there is work to be done. Nora's mother, Sarah, is working to bring awareness to her daughter's story in the hope that it may help make this test more readily available for other children nationwide...to save their sight...and maybe their lives.
