Aging and Vision Loss
VisionServe Alliance leads a consortium of 160+ organizations and leaders of national, state, local, private, and public agencies who advocate for increased access and enhanced quality of life for older Americans with blindness and low vision. We empower adults to age in place,

primarily through vision rehabilitation services and training. Vision rehabilitation imparts the skills necessary to continue living a safe, confident, and meaningful life with blindness and low vision. Informed by nationwide structured conversations with adults living with blindness and low vision and the extensive expertise of consortium members, we focus on key priorities, including increased funding through public policy efforts, enhanced public awareness and education, and expanding personnel to deliver life-changing programs and services to millions of adults living with vision loss. Learn more.
