February is Low Vision Awareness Month, and we’re shining a light on the importance of early detection!

At Eyes On Learning, we know that when a child can see clearly, they can learn fearlessly. Low vision is a condition that can’t be fully corrected by standard glasses or medicine—making early detection absolutely vital for a child's development.

Let's keep our "Eyes On Learning" all year round.

Did you know that many children with Color Vision Deficiency (aka Color Blindness) go undiagnosed simply because they don’t realize their "normal" looks different?

Early detection is key to ensuring our little learners feel confident and supported in the classroom. Learn more from the National Eye Institute.

If you have color blindness, it means you see colors differently than most people. Most of the time, color blindness makes it hard to tell the difference between certain colors. Read about the types of color blindness and its symptoms, risk factors, causes, diagnosis, and treatment.
