Working together to better serve elders with vision loss.

In an effort to better serve low vision and blind elders, FriendshipWorks established the Farsighted Team; a group of low vision experts, medical and academic institutions and service providers who have partnered with us to raise awareness about the impacts of elder vision loss and highlight low vision services.
