Blind and Low Vision Support Group

Join Dr. Don Fletcher and Annemarie Rossi, leading authorities on Low Vision Rehabilitation, and scientists at Smith-Kettlewell to share experiences and learn about the things that help you maintain a full and happy life while living with low vision. This support group is completely free. Each month a new topic will be discussed. There will also be opportunities to learn about cutting-edge research on low vision happening at the Institute.

All are welcome to attend.  No labels here.  Whether you have vision challenges yourself, you have a loved one with vision related issues, or maybe you are just curious to learn about eye health, safety, and tools that might help when participating in daily tasks, we hope you will join us.

For some meetings we will have a guest speaker, and for some meetings we will have a panel discussion among attendees, but every time we meet we invite you to share your perspective with the group and your experiences with any strategies or tools being presented. 

Our upcoming topics will include: 

• Lifestyle Contributions to Healthier Vision
• Reading Aids & Lighting
• Mobility & Fall Prevention
• Daily Strategies for Independence
• Vision Restoration Therapies
• Next Generation Aids
• Orientation & Mobility
• Smartphone & Accessibility
