Vision Support for Seniors in BC
4 resources listed
Vision loss can affect independence, safety, and daily life — and it's more common than many families expect. BC has programs offering low-vision assessments, assistive technology, and help with the cost of vision aids.
Many of these services are free through non-profit organizations, and others are partly covered by provincial health programs. An early assessment can help your loved one hold onto their independence longer.
