VisionAware

The spread of COVID-19 has turned much of our lives upside-down. We’ve learned, a diagnosis of blindness, or visual impairment, doesn’t exempt you from social distancing or sheltering in place. Sometimes, we have issues that require an immediate solution. Are you rapidly losing sight and do not know where to turn for advice? Are the local services for the blind in your area shuttered for in-person services due to COVID-19? Perhaps you have found yourself in a situation as a visually impaired or blind person that feels like crisis. We have been ordered to socially distance ourselves after all, and depending on your living situation, this may mean you are navigating these waters completely on your own.
