February is dedicated to raising awareness about age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and low vision, affecting millions of people in the United States. Getting diagnosed with an eye disease or condition that causes vision loss can be overwhelming — and individuals may not know where to start when it comes to accessing vision rehabilitation services. That’s why we believe in the importance of spreading awareness and sharing resources and information on helpful low-vision services and their accessibility. At VLANJ, it's our mission to help those with blindness or vision loss live independently and confidently. If you want to learn more about our programs, support, and resources for those who are blind or living with low vision, contact us at (973) 627-0055; prompt #4 to reach our Program Director, Vicki Lowrie, or email [email protected] Image Description: A picture of a person who is blind sitting on a bench is featured. In the background there is a purple circle and yellow and purple text that says "February is AMD/Low Vision Awareness Month" centered in the graphic.
