Vision Clinics of Development & Learning

Founded in 2021, Vision Clinics Of Development & Learning operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to addressing near vision dysfunctions through clinical services, technology development, education, and research. Our mission stems from over a decade of community-driven efforts beginning in Washington State's Yakima Valley, where undetected vision issues disproportionately impacted children's learning. We provide comprehensive eye exams, functional vision evaluations, and therapy services through our Bellevue-based EYE See Clinic and mobile vision clinics serving rural and urban communities statewide. Our proprietary EYE Toolbox software enables optometrists to deliver affordable, accessible vision therapy solutions remotely. Collaborating with the University of Washington Bothell, our EYE Research Group advances systemic change through technology development and clinical studies focused on vision-related learning challenges.

EYE Education initiatives train professionals and advocate for policy changes, including Washington State's Senate Bill 6245 mandating near vision screenings in schools. With over 25 years of combined expertise in optometry and computer science from our leadership team, we maintain rigorous standards through partnerships with academic institutions and adherence to evidence-based practices. Our commitment to accessibility is demonstrated through mobile clinic services reaching underserved populations, including Native American communities. We measure success through tangible outcomes like our 2022 impact of providing 115 eye exams with 75% requiring corrective lenses. As a trusted nonprofit, we prioritize transparency in operations and continuous improvement through research-driven feedback loops.
