But can you read this?

It is very frustrating when you cannot see your favorite TV program; or read the newspaper; or sign your name on the line of the check; or see the label on your prescription medication; or see the hymnal at church; or the face of the person who stopped to talk with you. You're not alone!!

An estimated 3 million Americans live with partial or total vision impairment, including 600,000 to 900,000 classified as legally blind. Three eye diseases account for low vision in adults:

Age-Related Macular Degeneration, Diabetic Retinopathy, and Glaucoma
