Welcome to Visual Rehab - Low Vision Devices

A vision rehabilitation service that provides one-on-one assessment and training at home

Visual Rehab is proud to sponsor Going Blind, a unique documentary film about the human perspective of sight loss and how low vision issues profoundly affect the lives of people from all walks of life.
Documentary film director and journalist Joe Lovett has glaucoma and has lost a significant amount of vision. He follows people who have already lost their
sight through blinding diseases like diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration, others through infection and accidents. Going Blind interweaves Joe’s story with those of others whom he looks to for guidance in a darkening world.
These compelling individual stories provide the sighted with a glimpse into the world of low vision and blindness. Canada has 836,000 people living with blindness or partial sight and by 2032 that number will double. Given our aging population and the increasing prevalence of low vision in our society, it is important that we understand sight loss and work towards a better future.

After the film there will be a Q&A panel session about blindness and low vision and a chance to examine some helpful devices.
