Millions of people in the United States are living with a visual impairment. Most often, it can’t be fixed with glasses, contacts, or other standard treatments like medicine or surgery.

The good news is that vision rehabilitation services can help people with a visual impairment make the most of the vision they have — and keep doing the things they love.

The MFVA is committed to helping organizations serve their visually impaired patients. Please visit our website https://www.themfva.org/grant-application to apply for a grant today.
