Parents are the best advocate for their child with JRA-associated uveitis. The ultimate responsibility for your child's health and vision come down to daily decisions you make for them.

Please do not neglect the other parts of the website (Links, News, Calendar, FAQ, etc.), but we will try to keep the content on this page more dynamic for your daily needs.
