You might remember me blogging all about my need for new eyeglasses and the process I went through to get them last year. As a visually impaired person, it is not as easy for me as it is for fully sighted people because my prescription is tricky, both to determine and to make.
It is so not easy that I waited over 10 years to do it! Bad Jennifer, very bad.
You can see in my little avatar there in the sidebar that I'm wearing glasses. Those are the new ones I finally got, and it was with help from a resource for people with low vision called SightConnection.
SigntConnection provides rehabilitative services throughout King, Snohomish and Skagit counties in Washington state to individuals living with eye diseases such as macular degeneration, glaucoma, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, or other causes of low vision and blindness.
SightConnection created Insight: A Low Vision Expo, being held in two weeks, in response to the growing numbers of people living with low vision in order to give them a whole day to discover the best resources for low vision.
