About Us

Our Story

SEE 4 E started with our son, Ethan.

When Ethan was 3 months old, we learned he has X-Linked Juvenile Retinoschisis (XLRS) — a rare genetic eye disease that causes progressive vision loss, mostly in boys and men. 

There is no cure for XLRS today. Not enough people have heard of it, and not enough funding goes toward finding one. As parents, we couldn't just wait and hope — we wanted to do something. So we started SEE 4 E.

Why Hats and Pins?

Every hat, beanie, and pin we sell is more than a product — it's a way to start a conversation. When someone wears SEE 4 E gear, they're helping spread awareness of a disease most people have never heard of, and every purchase helps fund the research working toward a treatment.

Our Hope

XLRS doesn't have to stay in the dark. With every hat worn and every pin pinned on, we're one step closer to the day there's a treatment — maybe even a cure — for Ethan and every other child and family living with this disease.

Thank you for being part of this with us.
