Annex Page
The purpose of this Annex page is to assist, inform, support and encourage, our fellow blinded vets, in dealing with their vision loss, and learning to use the visual assisting devices received while attending one of the VA Blind Rehabilitation Center programs. We encourage any veteran who is dealing with vision loss to contact their VA representative and ask about the VA Blind Rehabilitation Program. It is a life changing experience spent along side fellow blinded vets, experiencing and learning together how to navigate their way through the blind life.
