The Center for Vision Loss is the only organization dedicated to the visual well-being and related quality of life of everyone in Pennsylvania’s Lehigh, Northampton, and Monroe counties and is the Pennsylvania Association for the Blind’s (PAB) only accredited service provider in these communities. Its guiding principle is that vision loss should never be a barrier to achievement, independence, dignity, and hope, and its nonprofit mission is to enable personal triumphs over visual impairments.
The Center for Vision Loss delivers support, skills education, and rehabilitation services at little or no cost for people with vision loss; provides free vision screenings for children; and promotes eye health and safety. Impact on vision loss clients reflects in their abilities to live independently and improve their capabilities. Impact upon communities at large reflects in the numbers of children who receive free vision screenings and the number of people reached by agency’s education programs and outreach presentations.
