Vision loss is traumatic.

It is normal to be anxious.

It doesn't just happen to you.  Those close to you have to
adjust as well.

You may be worried because you don't know if you will be
able to maintain your independence.

You may sometimes feel embarrassed or awkward.

Your family doesn't know how to help.

You don't know if your friends will want to be with you.

Life may sometimes seem insurmountably difficult.

The good news is that there is support available.

This website is designed to help find assistance for you
and your friends and answer questions you may have.

Many services, devices and products are available today
and they are all on this website.

"It's not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the
most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change." -
Charles Darwin

I found this quote on the Lighthouse Int.'s website.  It is the
key to success in life.

THERE IS LIFE AFTER VISION LOSS.
