Low Vision Consultations
At Braille Institute we provide free one-on-one consultations with
Low Vision Rehabilitation Specialists who can help you determine the
correct devices to maximize your remaining vision. Your consultant will
analyze your particular needs and provide you with demonstrations and
recommendations for various assistive devices such as special lamps and
nonprescription magnifiers, closed-circuit televisions (CCTVs) and other
visual aids.
