Our Values
Passion: We believe every family that has a child with visual impairment should have access to a comprehensive eye exam, vision education, and resources that will help their child reach their full potential.
Equity: We provide low vision education, devices, and accommodations that level the playing field for children with permanent vision loss and promote learning success.
Innovation: We establish Eye Doctor - Vision Specialist partnerships to provide low vision rehabilitation for children with visual impairment and their families during exams and throughout childhood.
Partnership: We collaborate with community partners to heighten awareness and build strong resource and referral networks to find, identify, and serve children in need.
