Through guided exercises and games, My Sight teaches students about eye anatomy and a wide variety of vision conditions. This kit supports and empowers students as they learn to communicate about their vision.
Note: This product is temporarily unavailable while we make improvements.
My Sight is designed to teach students the foundational concepts and terminology of eye anatomy, how the visual system functions, and how impairments in this system can lead to vision loss. This program helps participants build essential communication skills to effectively advocate for their visual needs with teachers, peers, family members, healthcare providers, and the public.
Designed for K–12 students of all abilities and at every stage of vision, My Sight fosters awareness, advocacy, and understanding. With this kit, students will explore the structure of the eye, the path of light through the visual system, and common eye conditions using the Eye Conditions Guide and Eye Terminology Toolkit.
In addition to foundational science, My Sight emphasizes the development of self-advocacy skills. Students learn how to describe their individual visual abilities and needs by creating personalized Vision Ability Statements. Whether at school, at home, or in future workplaces, this program empowers students with the confidence and tools to communicate effectively about their own vision.

My student learned that she has optic nerve hypoplasia and how to better communicate that with peers.
The students LOVED the puzzle, and the diagrams with the Velcro labels were a fun and engaging way to check for understanding.
Many students already knew the name and functional implications of their eye disease/condition, but these activities helped them understand more about the eye in general. One student asked to learn about other visual impairments that their friends had for comparison and so they knew more about their challenges (an outcome I did not expect).
Having a tool like this “normalizes” visual impairment for kids and helps them understand there are other kids going through this.
The diagrams were helpful to review the parts and functions. It was nice having the glossary and terms to refer to when needed.
