Services
Are you an employer or provider of services to the blind or visually impaired, a business owner with blind customers, a friend of a blind person, or a blind person seeking materials in an accessible format? The Braille Transcribing staff of Vision Resources of Central Pennsylvania can provide conversion of documents to braille, large print, or audio.
Glaucoma is a disease of the optic nerve (the part of the eye that carries the images we see to the brain.) When damage to the optic nerve fibers occurs, blind spots develop. Theses blind spots usually go undetected until the optic nerve is severely damaged. In extreme cases, if the entire nerve is destroyed, blindness results.
