Close your eyes for a moment.

Picture your child’s face. The color of the ocean. The words on your favorite page.

Now imagine a little one slowly losing those things before they’ve had the chance to fully see them.

That’s the reality for many families facing hereditary childhood blindness. It’s why the Vision of Children Foundation works every day to fund research, give families hope, and help kids hold on to their sight.

This November 11th, you can be part of that hope.

15% of all glam services at Make Me Up RSF will be donated to the Vision of Children Foundation. Every product is also 20% off, with a portion of sales supporting the children and families we serve.

Your glam appointment could help a child keep seeing the world around them. And that’s the most beautiful thing of all.

30 years of hope, discovery, and changing lives.

For three decades, Vision of Children Foundation has supported groundbreaking research to better understand, diagnose, and ultimately treat inherited vision disorders.
From pioneering DNA diagnostic testing to advances in gene editing and CRISPR, what once seemed revolutionary is bringing us closer to a future where children affected by genetic vision disorders have more possibilities than ever before.
And the next chapter is just beginning.
30 years down. A future of hope ahead.

Back-to-school is a good time to check in on more than just homework and new routines.

After the first few weeks of school, take a moment to ask your child how their vision feels and check in with their teacher.

Are they having trouble seeing the board?
Are reading or close-up activities uncomfortable?
Have they mentioned headaches, tired eyes, or screen fatigue?
Has their teacher noticed any changes?

These small conversations can help parents recognize when it may be worth talking with an eye-care professional.

For decades, breakthroughs in vision research have started with the basics: identifying a gene, understanding a disorder, building the right models, and asking the next question.

At Vision of Children Foundation, we believe every discovery builds toward what comes next. Today, that foundation is helping researchers pursue new possibilities for children and families affected by genetic vision disorders.

Research doesn’t pause between headlines, and neither can support for it.

Swipe through to see how decades of research can turn foundational discoveries into the possibility of a breakthrough.

For children and families facing vision loss, progress can begin with hope.

In this conversation, we hear about an extraordinary breakthrough for Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA), a rare inherited eye disease. Gene therapy has given some people with certain forms of LCA the opportunity to experience meaningful improvements in vision.

The message is powerful: when we continue investing in vision research, innovation, and the next generation of treatments, we move closer to a future where fewer children have to hear that “nothing can be done.”

At the Vision of Children Foundation, we believe in supporting the science, research, and discoveries that can bring hope into focus.
