If you have partially lost your sight, or are losing it, or if a member of your family or a friend has loss of sight, you know the many problems that occur and the need for help. This site is meant to help with some of the problems associated with loss of sight. It should be useful to those who have sight loss as well as to professionals who educate and counsel persons with sight loss. From the Coping with Sight Loss home page there are three ways to access the information on this site. First, resources available to persons with vision problems are listed according to type of services offered, starting with financial assistance, education and training, recreation, etc.  Also, organizations and services mentioned in this book are listed alphabetically. Lastly, northern California agencies are listed according to county.

This site is not intended to provide information about all aspects of sight loss. The list of resources provides entry into the community system rather than listing all available resources.  To order the free paper edition, or a copy on tape, please contact Prevent Blindness Northern California.
