Low Vision Network provides help to visually impaired
The Massachusetts Lions Low Vision Network has established a substantial network of practitioners within the state who specialize in low vision assessment and treatment. They are providing low vision tools and other solutions such as hand magnifiers, computer technology, telescopes, binocular systems and more to improve the quality of life for Massachusetts residents who are visually impaired.
According to a press release from the Westborough Lions Club, Lions volunteers are playing a major role in this program by helping visually impaired patients to make appointments, providing rides to and from the appointment if necessary, and answering questions that come up.
