Elyse sees her vision as a blessing. Screened and referred by Prevent Blindness Wisconsin volunteers, Elyse loved being the only child in her class with glasses. Being diagnosed and treated for amblyopia early allowed her weak eye to strengthen to prevent permanent vision impairments such as poor depth perception. Elyse is now a sophomore in high school and loves to play competitive field hockey and enjoys healthy baking. She hopes to continue field hockey in college while studying to be a dietition, personal trainer, or physical therapist to conitnue her love for healthy lifestyles.
