Vision Heroes
We seek out inspiring young people who have overcome their vision challenges despite being told they have limitations that may hold them back from achieving their dreams. These remarkable Vision Heroes mentor and motivate others to persevere and reach their personal goals-whatever they may be!
Project Vision Aid
In line with our mission to improve the lives of visually impaired individuals and their families, VOC donates handheld video magnifiers to kids with low vision who otherwise can't afford one, with the goal of helping them see better and achieve their full potential.
Research
Over the past three decades, we have funded groundbreaking research around the world. Research remains the surest route to a cure for hereditary vision disorders.
Family Support
As a foundation dedicated to the betterment of the lives of others, providing family support has always been an integral piece of our mission. Learning how to come to terms with a diagnosis can be one of the most difficult parts of vision loss. That is why we feel it is necessary to provide answers and networks for anyone in need of such services.
