Allan Hytowitz & Michael Hessing/DYOP VISION

Dynamic Optotype (DYOP) is a revolutionary new eye test that measures visual acuity more precisely. Eye-opening research has proven that the DYOP is six times more accurate, eight times as consistent, and three times as fast and efficient as the Snellen Test (Big E chart), which has been the worldwide vision testing standard since 1862. The DYOP doesn’t require the ability to read, and is sensitive enough to test infants as young as 14 weeks old. DYOP Inventor Allan Hytowitz and DYOP Vision Associates have developed and patented this groundbreaking new diagnostic tool. Their extensive research proves how the dimensions of the DYOP test far exceed the limited and static Snellen Test, which tends to correct nearsighted vision improperly. Instead, the highly computerized DYOP uses rotating rings and different sized gaps to simply calibrate size, motion, contrast, and color, resulting in more accurate refractive correction.

A great feature is the DYOP APP is designed to work on Apple I-pads and android tablets, as a self-test or administered by Optometrists, Ophthalmologists, and other Health Care Providers. It can cut costs substantially for doctors using expensive and outdated equipment, for patients who can be tested remotely, and even for eye centers around the world that can use the test online.

Kassandra Boswell/Josephine Boswell Foundation

Josephine Boswell was born on April 12th, 2021 at 10lbs 15 oz. She suddenly passed away in her sleep from unknown causes on the evening of July 13th, 2023 at around 8pm. Her life was filled with love, excitement, wonder and support from her community. Throughout her short life she spent her days making friends, discovering the world, bonding with her teachers and fully embracing the “tyrant” title her mom gave her when she was a colicky baby. She was starting to understand spelling and math, her full name when written out as well as being able to recite her address around her 2nd birthday.

In essence, she was a force to be reckoned with. She was interesting, kind, curious, determined, funny, intelligent, compassionate and unapologetically herself. Her parents are incredibly proud of the person she was and who she was turning into. The result of the community that surrounded her; including her family, neighbors, friends and caregivers at her daycare.

The lack of apparent cause of death is what prompted the family to reach out to The SUDC Foundation (Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood) to get information and support during the devastating time following her passing. The SUDC Foundation has provided significant support and information in the wake of this loss. It’s through these experiences that the Boswells created the JB Foundation in order to support them and their mission. The Josephine Boswell Foundation is here to raise scholarship funds and research funds to empower the SUDC Foundation, but their community as well!
