Living with Vision Loss

The Iowa Department for the Blind has helped thousands of blind and low vision Iowans manage their vision loss so they can continue to live independently.

The Iowa Department for the Blind helps empower blind and low vision Iowans to lead active and fulfilling lives. The Department educates and trains them in alternative techniques while instilling them with confidence for independent living and competitive job placement. These skills enable those with vision loss to fully participate in life, through work, family , and community, and helps them achieve their dreams.

 

Because the Department is funded primarily through state and federal tax dollars, most of the services it offers are provided to eligible Iowans at no cost to them.
