To Our VisionAware Friends:


We'd like to pause for a moment during this hectic holiday season to say a warm "thank you" for your support during the past year by choosing visionaware.org as your go-to source of information about living independently with blindness and visual impairment.


We believe that everyone should be aware of the wide range of independent living and rehabilitation options that are available for you, your family members, your loved ones, and your friends – and we're pleased to play a major role in connecting you with these helpful services and resources.


We have exciting plans for visionaware.org in the coming year, so please visit us often. We'll continue to provide you with information about the latest medical advances, new independent living resources, and interviews with men and women who share their personal stories about the challenges - and rewards - of living well with vision loss.


Our sincere best wishes for a happy and healthy New Year!
