Welcome to our Vision Resources page. Here, we tried to compile a collection of trusted medical, educational, and peer-support links to help you (as a teen) or your family navigate the world of vision conditions. Whether you’re dealing with inflammation like uveitis, retinal changes such as neovascularization, refractive issues (nearsightedness), eye-alignment challenges (like accommodative esotropia), or other concerns, this section is here to support you with accurate, professional information and practical guidance.

​

Each link below leads to expert-written content: from pediatric ophthalmology clinics, national eye-health institutes, and full-length reviews. We’ve selected resources that are teen-friendly, medically sound, and easy to share. Explore the topics, bookmark what you find useful, and feel empowered by understanding more about your vision and your mental and emotional well-being in living with it. 

​

If you learn of any additional resources that you think would be valuable to others, please post in one of the group threads on this site and we will be sure to include it!
