About this Event
The Center for Vision Loss is the only organization dedicated to the visual well-being and related quality of life of everyone in Pennsylvania’s Lehigh, Northampton, and Monroe counties. Its guiding principle is that vision loss should never be a barrier to achievement, independence, dignity, and hope.
The Center for Vision Loss delivers support, skills education, and rehabilitation services at little or no cost for people with vision loss; provides free vision screenings for children; and promotes eye health and safety. Impact on vision loss clients reflects in their abilities to live independently and improve their capabilities. Impact upon communities at large reflects in the children who receive free vision screenings and the people reached by agency’s education programs and outreach presentations.
Services for Lehigh and Northampton counties are provided from the agency’s Lehigh Valley Campus in Allentown, PA. Services for Monroe County are provided from its Monroe Campus near Stroudsburg, PA.
The agency traces its inception to 1928, when Lions Clubs in Lehigh and Northampton counties responded to a direct appeal from iconic activist Helen Keller to become “Knights of the Blind.” The groups formed two agencies, and efforts expanded to Monroe County in 2002. The two agencies consolidated in 2010 to shape the organization as it is known today.
