Overview

Many of the people we work with have age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, or other vision-related conditions that are often a part of aging. Frequently, in addition to vision loss, our clients also face other health issues. Our goal is to help customers meet the challenges of vision loss based on their own particular needs and circumstances.

Losing some or most of your vision later in life can be frightening and overwhelming. Yet many of our clients tell us that they're pleasantly surprised to realize how a little bit of training, some creative solutions, and perhaps some additional technology can give them both confidence and independence.

We provide services directly or through referral to community agencies. Services include:

  • Low vision aids and other adaptive devices
  • Travel skill training
  • Training in daily living skills
  • Training in assistive technology
  • Access to the Radio Talking Book, a closed-circuit broadcast network for listening to readings of the local newspapers, magazines, and the latest bestselling books
  • Access to books and other print material in audio and other alternative formats through our Communication Center.
