Our Focus Areas

  • Community Education: Interactive workshops on eye health, digital eye strain, and aging vision.

  • Youth Vision Awareness: Classroom and school-based learning about eye protection and healthy habits.

  • Public Outreach: Collaborations with local optometrists, health fairs, and community centers.

Announcing the Vision Awareness Pilot: Youth & Community Edition

We’re excited to share a new initiative from About My Eyes: the Vision Awareness Pilot: Youth & Community Edition.

This pilot project brings accessible, prevention-focused eye health education directly into community spaces where youth and families already gather. Through hands-on learning, conversation, and clear, easy-to-understand resources, the Vision Awareness Pilot is designed to help young people and caregivers better understand how vision affects learning, confidence, and overall well-being—and how early awareness can make a lifelong difference.

Why This Pilot Matters

Too often, eye health only becomes a focus once a problem is already affecting daily life. The Vision Awareness Pilot shifts that timeline earlier by introducing eye health education in a proactive, community-centered way. By meeting people where they are, we aim to reduce barriers to information and empower families with knowledge before challenges arise.

Community Partnership at the Core

This project is being launched in collaboration with a local PAL League, allowing us to pilot education in a trusted, youth-centered environment. Working alongside community partners helps ensure that our materials are relevant, welcoming, and responsive to real questions and needs.

What We Hope to Achieve

Through this pilot, we aim to:

  • Increase eye health awareness among youth and caregivers

  • Build confidence in recognizing early warning signs of vision concerns

  • Strengthen community partnerships around prevention and education

  • Test and refine a model that can be shared with other communities in the future

Looking Ahead

The Vision Awareness Pilot is a time-limited project that will help inform future outreach and education efforts at About My Eyes. We’re grateful for the opportunity to learn, collaborate, and grow alongside our community partners.

We’ll be sharing updates as the pilot unfolds. If you’re interested in our work or would like to learn more about eye health education, we invite you to explore our resources and follow along.

Together, we’re building a clearer, healthier future—one community at a time.
