About Cleveland Sight Center

Helping people who are blind or who have low vision.

OUR MISSION

To provide individualized support and tools to navigate the visual world.

OUR VISION

A world where the quality of one’s sight does not determine the quality of one’s life.

WHO WE ARE
We are a team of professionals dedicated to our mission of providing the support and tools needed to navigate the visual world. Our specialized staff assess individuals of all ages with empathy and professionalism, seeking to help them understand their unique vision-related needs and how our services can help them achieve their goals.

WHY WE ARE HERE
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 that everyone’s vision is different and can change over time. We understand the unique vision related needs that can accompany these changes and provide the support and tools that help navigate a world designed for those with sight. We believe the quality of one’s sight should not determine the quality of one’s life and are here to show individuals that they can still live the lives they want with the vision they have.

WHAT WE DO
Cleveland Sight Center is often the next step in an individual’s vision care after receiving a diagnosis from a primary eye care provider. As a part of this continuum of care, we work alongside each individual to understand their vision diagnosis, needs and goals. We then create an individualized plan to support them through a variety of different services:

Vision Rehabilitation Services:

  • Clinic offering low vision exams and assessments
  • Store offering assistive technology and low vision aids
  • Training on assistive technology, low vision aids and daily living techniques

Support Services:

  • Case management and peer support groups
  • Recreation and socialization activities

Employment Services:

  • Employment preparation
  • Job coaching
  • Job placement 

Children’s Services:

  • Early Intervention
  • Preschool
  • School-age case management

Community Education and Advocacy:

  • Community training, education and outreach
  • Advocacy to local, state, federal representatives

Diversity and Inclusion

Cleveland Sight Center is committed to values of diversity and inclusion in order to create a climate of respect that is supportive to everyone’s individual success. We strive to provide an environment favorable to all regardless of race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, pregnancy, marital status, age, nationality, ethnicity, ancestry, disability, military status, genetic information, protected veteran status, or any other factor or characteristic protected by law. We recognize that the responsibility for diversity and inclusion lies with all at the agency: leadership, administration, staff and volunteers.
