Having Trouble with Your Vision?

 

       Every seven minutes, someone in America will permanently lose their eyesight. According to the American Foundation for the Blind, there are already ten million Americans who have problems seeing, and the number is growing at an alarming rate ... among older people it is expected to more than double by the year 2030.

 

       If you are having trouble seeing, call the North Carolina Division of Services for the Blind to learn more about services available to you. Remember that blindness can affect every one of us.
