Vision Loss Support Group
4th Monday of the month at 10:00am Free
Have changes in vision impacted your daily life?
Seniors may experience changes in vision from varying conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration. Emotional effects can accompany even mild vision loss, ranging from fear of what a progressive condition might mean in the future to questions about how to continue everyday activities like reading, home maintenance, cooking, and hobbies with a vision loss. This monthly support group will address all of these topics and much more in a supportive, informative environment. Each month Sandy Krems, volunteer with the National Federation of the Blind will emphasize a specific discussion topic.
