Tree Top Industries Signs Agreement With WorldWithoutBlindness, LLC
June 24 2010 - 10:27AM
Tree Top Industries, Inc. (OTCBB:TTII) has signed a Letter of
Intent with WorldWithoutBlindness, Inc. ("WWB") to develop a plan
for global expansion of early vision screening for children and
adults, using Visual Evoke Potential (VEP), and other new
technologies, many of them developed at academic institutions,
including Rockefeller University, which assess the structure of the
optic nerve and the retina.
Kathy Griffin, President of Tree Top, stated, "We are partnering
with WWB to market new ophthalmic technology internationally, and
our business plan will target developing countries, where there is
a disproportionately high incidence of blindness. According
to the World Health Organization (the "WHO"), there are over 45
million blind and 135 million vision impaired people across the
globe. 70% of those cases could be prevented with early
intervention. Over 500,000 new cases of childhood
blindness occur every year, or roughly, one per minute. WWB's
plan is to target pediatricians, schools, and government agencies,
as well as private organizations to get the screening equipment
into the hands of those who can help the most. Every child, even
those as young as six months old, can be
screened." (Statistics from www.Uniteforsite.org and the
WHO)
WWB will work with companies based in the United States, which
have developed early vision screening equipment. WWB is planning to
place machines in developing countries by the first quarter of
2011. Revenue streams will come from the sale of the screening
systems and software, as well as from annual screening tests.
WorldWithoutBlindness, Inc., is devoted to
prevention of blindness through screening and early disease
detection, patient information, physician education and vision
science research.
Tree Top Industries' subsidiaries and
affiliates include clean-tech energy, bio-energy and green energy
solutions and health care companies. Tree Top is an early stage
company that is animating its subsidiaries and affiliates
concurrently, as it simultaneously moves to acquire companies that
are in various stages of development.
