A look at one of the displays from our recent Low Vision Clinic open house. This kitchen and home station featured practical tools and strategies that can help make everyday tasks safer and easier for people with low vision, including tactile labels, high-contrast surfaces, large-print timers, and spill-prevention supports. Small adaptations can make a meaningful difference in promoting safety, confidence, and independence at home.

Happy Read Across America Day! 📚👀

Reading together is a beautiful reminder of how much kids rely on clear vision. In California, 62% of children (0–17) didn’t see an eye doctor (ever for ages 0–5 / in the past 2 years for ages 6–17), according to the 2023 National Survey of Children’s Health. If your child squints, complains of headaches, or holds books close, an eye exam can make a real difference.

A magnifying glass can turn “I can’t read this” into “I’ve got it”—whether it’s mail, medication labels, a recipe, or a text message on your phone. Adaptive devices like this don’t change your diagnosis, but they can change your day-to-day independence and confidence.

If you or someone you love is finding that glasses (or even surgery) aren’t enough, low vision rehabilitation can help you learn practical tools and techniques to make the most of remaining vision.
