Join us on Wednesday, July 22, at noon ET for a webinar featuring findings from our latest research on aging with vision loss. AFB's research team, led by Dr. Arielle Silverman, will present preliminary results examining what adjusting to vision loss looks like for older Americans, which services they use and which they do not, and how those services can be improved.

We'll be joined by Jennifer Ottowitz, the Older Blind Specialist for the Older Individuals who are Blind Technical Assistance Center (OIB-TAC), who will help place our findings in the broader conversation about vision rehabilitation services for older Americans, based on the technical assistance feedback the OIB-TAC receives.

Together, we'll discuss our research findings and what they could mean for older adults and their families, medical schools and associations, aging organizations, policymakers, and public and private agencies that provide vision rehabilitation services. We'll also explore the key research questions that remain unanswered.
