Thank you to all the staff members and physicians who donated!

For 15 years, Eye Surgical Associates, Sutton Linder & Sutton, Lincoln Surgical Hospital and Nebraska Surgery Center have supported Lincoln families during the holidays. ❤️ Staff donations are matched by physicians to double the impact.

The Nebraska Foundation for Children's Vision was one of three local organizations they chose to support this year. Today, Joanna Fenicle, RN, and Deanna Bohl delivered their donation to NFCV. Thank you to their generous staff and physicians for making this possible!

Vision problems don’t always mean blurry eyesight. Even kids who “see fine” can have issues with tracking, focusing, or visual processing — and these can directly impact their learning.

Signs to watch for:
- Complaints of headaches or tired eyes
- Losing place while reading
- Difficulty with attention or comprehension
- Avoiding close-up work

Because 80% of classroom learning is visual, detecting these issues early is key to your child’s success.

✅ Yearly eye exams can catch hidden problems
✅ Pediatric eye care supports learning and confidence

If your child is struggling in school or it's been more than one year since their last eye exam, schedule one today!
