You've just been diagnosed with low vision or vision loss due to one condition or another.  You have some vision, but suddenly everyday activities are more difficult and you need to figure out how to do things if you want to continue living independently.  From cooking, to laundry to managing your mediations or even navigating your home environment, The American Foundation for the Blind has information and resources to help.  Check them out.

And locally, Rochester has the Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired which has a low vision clinic and man programs and services to help.  Learn more about them.
