Friends of Vision

Friends of Vision are a volunteer group dedicated to assisting the visually impaired in maintaining their independence and dignity, through education, support, and socialization so that they may live a satisfying and productive life in a sighted world.

Martha Gorey Resource Center Shop for Low Vision Aids

The Martha Gorey Resource Center shop is located within over 1,400 square feet of space at the DIO and is devoted to providing aids to the visually impaired and blind. This unique facility is staffed by Friends of Vision volunteers. It provides a broad selection of fairly priced low vision aids.

Support for the Visually Impaired

Our support groups provide a comfortable environment to discuss the challenges of living fully with visual impairment. Our groups of 25-35 visually impaired seniors meet twice a month. They hear from speakers on a variety of topics. They meet in small groups to discuss their difficulties and successes in daily life. On occasion, they take day trips and attend parties. All of this is made possible by the diligent fundraising of Friends of Vision.
