Program areas at The Vision of Children
The Vision of Children funds researchers, in the US and internationally, who are advancing our understanding of the causes and are finding cures for inherited eye disease and vision disorders. The primary focus of our funded research has been multiple vision related medical issues.
The Vision of Children provides information to the public and gives researchers an opportunity to arrange for collaborative research projects by hosting a biennial symposium. Additionally, through newsletters and our website, we inform the members who make up our family network. The Vision of Children provides adaptive vision aids to school districts. These computer monitors and handheld magnifiers alleviate the stress and strain that students with low vision may face when they are at school. Further, the Vision Hero Video Series are videos of inspiring young people who are able to overcome their vision challenges. Vision Heroes mentor and motivate other young people born with genetic vision disorders to persevere, pursue their goals, and reach their full potential in spite of having a vision disorder.
