It is the mission of the Low Vision Center of Northeast Florida:

To provide comprehensive visual rehabilitation to individuals with permanent vision loss, so that they may maximize the use of their remaining vision;

To provide a place of comfort and a source of hope for individuals who experience the difficulties caused by this vision loss; and

To be a perpetual resource for guidance and information to all our patients.

The Low Vision Center of Northeast Florida was a vision of Dr. WJ Knauer, Jr., a prominent, second-generation ophthalmologist in Jacksonville, Florida.  This vision is carried on by his son, Dr. WJ Knauer, III who currently practices Ophthalmology in Jacksonville, FL.

The Low Vision Center is funded by the Eye Research Foundation.  This is a private foundation in Jacksonville, Florida.  The Low Vision Center is one of its many projects.

The Low Vision Center of Northeast Florida is a full-time, non-profit low vision clinic.  Our mission is to provide the tools and techniques necessary for resuming daily living activities and improving your quality of life.
