The Investigator Awards are research grants presented annually to scientifically based studies that seek to end unnecessary vision loss.
Dr. Levin is chief of pediatric ophthalmology and ocular genetics at Wills Eye Institute. He received the award for the study he leads titled the following: “Cost and Effectiveness of an Eye Care Adherence Program for Philadelphia School Children with Significant Visual Impairment.”
“Our organization was founded more than 100 years ago as a way to help provide healthy eyesight to children,” said Hugh R. Parry, president and CEO of Prevent Blindness America, in the release. “By providing funds to research projects like Dr. Levin’s, we hope to continue that legacy and put all children on a path to a lifetime of healthy vision.”
