As Far as the Eye Can See
Has vision loss begun to influence how you
live and enjoy your life? Many common eye
conditions can affect your eyesight and force
you to discover new ways to do old things.
Cindy Kauffman from the Minnesota State
Services for the Blind (SSB) will discuss
services available to you if you are experiencing vision loss. Discover the various
magnifiers, household devices, and options for reading through audio that are
available through SSB to seniors even if your vision loss is in the early stages.
Cindy will also demonstrate some of the remarkable ways that technology is
improving the lives of seniors with vision loss—even seniors who are not sure
they could learn how to use assistive technology. These services are all at no cost
to the consumer, and help folks do more with less vision. There will be plenty
of time for those wishing to work one-on-one with Cindy on specific aids and
devices or getting connected with resources through SSB. Cindy Kauffman
