ABOUT

We live in a visually-oriented world where so much of daily life is built on the premise that everyone has clear vision. But, Cleveland Sight Center recognizes everyone’s vision is different and can change over time. That’s why we’ve partnered with individuals of all ages and ranges of visual ability since 1906 to support them in navigating the visual world by:

• Teaching a family with a baby how to adapt household items and toys to meet developmental milestones
• Ensuring children and adults have the assistive technology they need to succeed in school and work
• Providing vision exams and training on many technologies and tools that allow individuals to live the lives they want with vision they have
• Continuing to advocate for a world where the quality of one’s sight does not determine the quality of one’s life
• And so much more
