Vision Loss

Vision loss resources:

The American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) "created AFB Senior Site to help older Americans and their family members cope with age-related eye diseases." It "is designed to encourage aging adults with eye diseases to live independently and productively. The site connects seniors, family members, and caregivers to local services and showcases a wide range of assistive living products available to people with vision loss. It also contains information on the resources and tools needed to continue to read, shop, cook, manage finances, and go out with friends."

"What is Low Vision?" - An article in the caregiver section of this website that includes a simulation of how a scene would look to someone with different eye conditions.

American Council of the Blind has:

• a resource page at www.acb.org/resources
• a website of Resources for Older Individuals who are Blind or Visually Impaired
• Blind Handyman a "web-based radio program produced by the American Council of the Blind. On each edition, the Blind Handyman hosts discuss a variety of home repair topics. Current and archive programs are available."
