  • Dear Friends,

    The VA is taking a big step forward by allotting 40 million dollars over the next three years for low vision rehabilitation care for visually impaired vets. If you served in the US armed forces, you will soon be able to take advantage of the expanded program. This means free help with everything from initial evaluation of needs and goals to selection of appropriate optical and non-optical devices.

    Please take a few minutes to read more about it and follow the links beginning at:

    Best wishes for the holidays,

    Dan Roberts, Director
    MD Support
