Do people who have vision loss really need help? If they can live independently, do they need special services?
People with vision loss definitely can live independently, but the experience of losing your vision can be difficult, and often people need to learn new ways to do things to regain their independence. CNIB has the experience and expertise that people need to learn how to get their lives back. We can also connect people to counselling or peer support that they may need to adjust to living with vision loss. And once people have learned to adjust, there are still vital CNIB resources and services that they rely on. For example, CNIB’s Library has the books and information people need to stay in touch with the world and succeed in education or a career. Our consumer products allow people to access the latest tools and technology to facilitate independence. CNIB is there for people to help them achieve their goals at every stage of living with vision loss.
