Living with Vision Loss
For over 100 years, the Massachusetts Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired (MABVI), has been committed to supporting individuals living with vision loss. We teach strategies for doing the activities you may have previously relied on vision to accomplish. There is no one right way to live with vision loss. Our goal is to help you find ways that work for you and to provide you with the support you need.
