Meeting a Growing Need
As our population ages, vision loss will impact many more in the years to come... possibly someone close to you! Please donate to help hundreds of individuals remain independent, safe, and able to function on their own.
- Increasing numbers: It is estimated that close to 100,000 adults in San Diego County are facing vision loss... and the numbers are growing as baby boomers age.
