Clinic Names Kid's Vision Loss, Then PAPER CHASE

Here's a rare thing: something that WORKS. BNO News reports a US pediatric eye clinic can usually identify a child's vision loss within a visit or two. Fast, clear, done. Then the family walks out the door into the real obstacle course, because the information they need is scattered across genetics labs, school districts, research registries and benefits offices. And BNO News says those outfits rarely compare notes. Rarely! If my north pasture and south pasture never spoke, I'd have cattle in three counties by Friday. Four offices, four pieces of the puzzle, zero conversation between them. The cattle are confused, and frankly, so am I. Parents shouldn't need a detective badge to get answers.
