Approximately 5 million individuals annually experience an eye injury, disease, genetic deformities, or ophthalmic tumors, leading to the loss of vision in one or both eyes. This can often result in difficulty with self-acceptance and connecting with others.

Social media, Zoom, and virtual spaces have become indispensable to our ability to come together as a community and support one another through the sharing of experiences, strength, and hope.

OUR MISSION The goal of the Eye Connect Conferences is to establish a supportive and healing environment for those affected by visual impairment. By providing a safe and inclusive space, Eye Connect empowers individuals to authentically express themselves and connect with a community of peers.

Attendees of the conference will have the opportunity to hear from 4 notable speakers within the community. The conference will include a self-love workshop and a meditation session. Attendees will also receive a PDF workbook to use during and after the conference. The conference offers a chance to connect face-to-face and find connection, self-love, laughter, healing, and fun. Additionally, proceeds from the conference will be used to provide more resources for the community, including funding for prosthetic eyes and other eye surgeries.
