Senior Vision Services

As we age, changes in our vision become more common. Millions of older adults experience vision loss that can make everyday activities—such as reading mail, preparing meals, managing medications, or getting to appointments—more challenging. Vision loss can also affect confidence, independence, and emotional well-being, but the right support and training can make a significant difference. Vision loss becomes much more common with age, particularly after age 65, and the risk continues to increase in the later years of life.

AVRE provides a wide range of services for adults 55 years of age and older who are experiencing vision loss. Our programs are designed to help seniors remain safe, independent, and active in their homes and communities.

Vision Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT) teaches practical daily living skills such as cooking safely, organizing medications, managing finances, and completing household tasks using adaptive techniques and devices. Training can even take place in our adaptive living apartment, where participants practice real-life skills in a safe environment.

Orientation and Mobility (O&M) training helps seniors travel with greater confidence using techniques such as white cane travel, navigating their home and neighborhood, and safely accessing community resources, appointments, and social activities.

Many adults over 55 also choose to remain in or return to the workforce. Our Employment Services program provides individualized support with job readiness, career exploration, resume development, interview preparation, and connecting with employers who value an inclusive workforce.

Our Social Caseworker is available to provide ongoing support as individuals adjust to vision loss. Case management focuses on helping participants navigate the emotional impact of vision loss while connecting them with community resources, benefit programs, and other services that support their goals and independence.

At AVRE, we believe that vision loss doesn't have to mean giving up the activities you enjoy. With the right training, tools, and support, you can continue living safely, confidently, and independently.
