If you or someone you know is experiencing vision loss, don’t lose sight of available options. People often equate losing vision with the end of the road. Here at the LightHouse, we don’t see it that way! Armed with resources, support from staff and peers, training and a positive attitude, people with vision loss succeed in school, in the workplace and at home.

Vision Loss FAQ

I have problems with my vision: What do I do?
Make an appointment with an eye doctor, also known as an Ophthalmologist or Optometrist. Some vision problems can be corrected with glasses or other devices. Many eye diseases start without any symptoms. Some diseases, such as glaucoma, can be managed with an early diagnosis and medication. If you do not have an eye doctor, call the Academy of Ophthalmology at 800-443-9370.

What is Vision Rehabilitation?
“Vision Rehabilitation” is a process where people experiencing vision loss learn new ways to approach tasks. Kinds of vision rehabilitation include: Vocational, for work goals; Homemaker, for independent living goals; Personals, for short-term adjustment to vision loss goals.
