Leading Visually Impaired Lives With a Purpose
Every day can be a struggle for people living with visual impairment. However, losing one’s vision should not be an obstacle to pursuing a happy and meaningful life.
Visions of Independence (VOI), help people who are visually impaired lead fully independent lives. Our patients have a number of eye diseases; macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, vision loss due to stroke among other diseases. Our team, which consists of specially trained occupational therapists, change the lives of our patients.

What We Do
Our trained occupational therapists work with people in their own homes. We teach patients who have low vision alternative strategies to do everyday tasks and introduce them to some simple adaptive equipment that can make doing things a lot easier.
Our Patients
At VOI, we provide services for low vision patients who have macular degeneration, glaucoma, or diabetic retinopathy, among other eye diseases. Through our programs, we can help visually impaired individuals to better cope with their vision loss.
