Know the Glow (KTG) aims to globally eliminate preventable early childhood blindness by raising public awareness of the Glow (leukocoria) and the more than twenty different glow-related eye diseases it can signify, driving action toward early detection, diagnosis, and treatment.
Know the Glow produces educational resources, leads early detection advocacy work, supports research, shares patient family stories, doctor stories, and works with international NGOs. They develop targeted digital social media campaigns and supporting resources to build multi-lingual awareness that helps in detecting early childhood blindness around the world.
