Low Sight Insight

 

Insight serves as a platform for practical and educational information for people with low vision and their friends and family. Original content is written by medical students or adapted from presentations and demonstrations performed during a monthly low vision support group. We hope to serve as a special source of support for those who are new members of the low-vision community, as well as for providers seeking a new perspective on their patients.
