Vision Support for Seniors in BC
4 resources listed
Vision loss can affect independence, safety, and quality of life — and it's more common than many families expect. BC has programs that provide low-vision assessments, assistive technology, and help covering the cost of vision aids.
Many of these services are available at no cost through non-profit organizations. Others are partially covered through provincial health programs. Getting an early assessment can help your loved one stay independent longer.
