LOW VISION RESOURCE IN CONNECTICUT

Why?

According to the CDC (2022), the amount of people with a visual impairment in the United States is expected to double by 2030. Only about 54% of general Occupational therapists feel comfortable performing low vision screenings (Winner et al., 2014). 

As the prevalence of visual impairments rises, individuals need training to focus on their usable vision. This specialized training allows individuals quality of life to dramatically increase as they engage in meaningful activities in a safe manner.

My experience was life-changing! My ability to do my work, and to enjoy other aspects of my personal life in an enhanced way has been changed forever. I could not recommend or speak more highly of an individual practicing vision therapy. - Dr. Steven Fisher MD
