Low Vision Support Group

Dear Readers,

Intended to better serve the local community in low vision awareness, we have coordinated with our friends at Low Vision Etc. to provide the public with information on low vision issues, adaptive aids & products, and other vital resources!  If you or someone you know have low vision, or are struggling with Macular Degeneration, Diabetic Retinopathy, or other eye diseases, then please join Low Vision, Etc. and Mississippi Industries for the Blind in finding solutions through our first Low Vision Support Group meeting and low vision technology demonstrations on Tuesday, February 19th!

Low Vision, Etc. provides personal attention for the visually impaired. Their company is built around helping the low vision client find the key to staying independent in the home, school or workplace.  Located in Monroe, LA and specializing in adaptive, digital technologies, such as CC TVs and hand-held magnification devices, Low Vision Etc. is a leader in providing low vision resources throughout Louisiana.  And we are very excited to be co-hosting this event with them!

We plan to meet at 10AM to open group discussion on low vision issues, giving the attendees a time to share their experiences with one another.  In turn, we will give the appropriate advice and information on how to address said issues, and we will show various low vision aids that assist in all aspects of daily living.

If you are interested in attending this event, please call Kelsey Marx or Roy Granger at 601-984-3200 for more details.  Feel free to bring a friend or family member to this support group meeting and low vision technology demo!
