Welcome to CCN
We are a UK-based mutual support group for those affected
by childhood cataracts. Our members include:
parents, other family members, friends and carers of
children affected by cataracts; adults and young people who themselves had cataracts
when they were children; professionals working in fields with a childhood
cataract connection such as medicine, education, social
work.
The support we provide includes the following:
This website provides relevant information in a very
accessible form (see links to the right). The
Beginner's Guide
and Parenting Info
sections will be invaluable for those whose children have
recently been diagnosed with cataracts, and the
Medical Info section
provides some really useful background. The
Personal Stories section
tells real-life stories of children affected by cataracts,
and of young people and adults who had cataracts when they
were children. We have an email group where members can chat about
their day-to-day experiences and seek advice from the
group. We organize occasional events where our members and
their families can get together, such as our very successful
Family Weekend in August 2009.
