What is Visual Rehabilitation?

Rebuilding Autonomy and Self-Esteem After Visual Loss

A Visual rehabilitation is a continuous readjustment process developed for people who lived their daily lives with preserved vision and faced total or partial loss of visual capacity. Our work plan restores confidence in carrying out daily tasks, restores the right to come and go with a long cane, teaches the use of adapted technology and provides emotional support to avoid depression and isolation.
