Nebraska Foundation for Children's Vision

More than 80% of learning in the classroom is visual. We help children get the vision care they need so that they can meet their fullest potential in school and in life.  The NFCV works to increase awareness and understanding on the critical link between vision and learning and to enhance and facilitate access to vision care for Nebraska children.

Based upon national statistics, as many as 4,500 Nebraska children enter school each year with vision problems significant enough to hinder their ability to learn.  If a child is struggling to read or finding it difficult to remain on task, the cause may be an undetected vision problem.  Early detection through a complete eye exam can save years of struggling for our state’s young children.
