If you, someone you love or someone close to you struggles with low vision and you need answers, you'll want to stop by the DeWitt County Friendship Center this Wednesday.
Kim Tarkowski with Life Center for Independent Living indicates the event, a low vision fair, takes place at the DeWitt County Friendship Center and it will highlight the resources available to those who struggle with low vision.
While they can be somewhat daunting and intimidating, Tarkowski explains technology, specifically the smart phone, can be a tremendous resource for someone who battles low vision. She says they will have folks talking about those resources available.
According to Tarkowski, low vision is when a person's optemetrist can no longer improve your vision.
The low vision fair runs from 3:30 pm to 6:30 pm at the DeWitt County Friendship Center. Tarkowski says this if the first time they have done a low vision fair in DeWitt County, though they do provide services to the Friendship Center for their low vision support group.
To get more information about the low vision or the low vision support group, contact the DeWitt County Friendship Center at 217-935-9411.
