Coats Disease Foundation Publishes Resource for Parents of Newly Diagnosed Children


 

References

The Jack McGovern Coats Disease Foundation has developed a “Questions to Ask Your Doctor About Coats Disease” resource for parents of children who are newly diagnosed with Coats disease. The publication was developed by the foundation with its medical advisers, based upon hundreds of questions that have been submitted to the foundation over the years. If Coats disease is caught early, some level of vision may be restored. If not diagnosed until later, the result may be complete loss of vision.
