Low Vision Services

If your eye care professional has told you that you have low vision, the Central Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired can help. Low vision is defined as a visual impairment not corrected by standard eyeglasses, contact lenses, medication, or surgery that interferes with the ability to perform everyday activities.

At the Central Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired (CABVI), we know that remaining vision is usable vision, and our Low Vision Services are designed to help people make the most of the vision they have. CABVI consumers often enjoy a marked improvement in the quality of their lives by using assistive devices. CABVI uses low vision specialists – optometrists and ophthalmalogists – who are specially certified to provide: evaluation of your eyesight, prescriptions for low vision optical aids and devices, recommendations for special adaptive devices, instruction to help you adjust to, and get the maximum benefit from, your new adaptive devices and techniques, and follow-up care, additional training and adaptation skills.
