Founded with the purpose of bridging the gap for the growing nature disconnection, particularly impacting urban youth, Naturewise Columbus began in 2024. The nonprofit connects with local organizations that serve children and families to create content and get the free magazine in the hands of children. Ribbit! Magazine has quickly become a welcome resource in classrooms, libraries, nature centers, and community spaces.

ReVision LASIK & Cataract Surgery was a proud to contribute to the Fall 2026 issue of Ribbit! Magazine with a fun article titled, “The Amazing Eyes of Ohio Animals”. The reader is introduced to similarities and differences between animal and human eyes, while learning about the eye structures of animals found right here in Ohio.
