Low vision is a significant yet often overlooked challenge affecting millions of people worldwide. While many awareness campaigns focus on prevention, far fewer emphasize what comes next—helping individuals who already have vision loss improve their quality of life. This February, the International Academy of Low Vision Specialists (IALVS) is bridging that gap by offering free, easy-to-access educational materials that highlight the groundbreaking advancements in low vision glasses and devices.
Too many individuals remain unaware that modern low vision devices and glasses can help them read, watch TV, recognize faces, and even drive in some cases. Low vision solutions have evolved dramatically, yet access to this information remains limited. IALVS is committed to ensuring that more people learn about the life-changing technology available today.
Free Resources to Raise Awareness – No Sign-Up Required
To support Low Vision Awareness Month, IALVS has created a comprehensive Low Vision Awareness Toolkit, designed for eye care professionals who offer low vision services or refer their patients to low vision doctors. This resource aims to educate, inspire, and spread awareness about the many solutions available beyond traditional glasses or surgery.
Included in the Toolkit are Informative flyers to promote in the office with posters sized in 8.5x11 or 18x22, Social media graphics and captions that are ready to share, making it easy for individuals and organizations to join the conversation with #LowVisionAwareness, and a prebuilt Email/Blog to promote on the web about low vision, low vision optometrists, and the benefits of advanced low vision glasses and devices.

Spreading awareness is crucial. By sharing these materials, individuals, caregivers, and professionals can help educate those with vision loss about real solutions that can enhance their daily lives.
Advancing Beyond Prevention – The Power of Low Vision Glasses & Devices
For those who are living with macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, or other vision-limiting conditions, they may have been told that "nothing more can be done." However, this is not true—advanced low vision devices and glasses can significantly enhance remaining vision, improving a person’s ability to perform everyday tasks.
Many people with low vision struggle with reading books, newspapers, or labels, watching TV or using a computer, and recognizing faces of loved ones.
IALVS doctors offer customized solutions tailored to each person’s specific vision needs including magnification devices, bioptic telescopic glasses, prismatic reading glasses, and wearable electronic devices.
Too many people aren’t aware that these solutions exist. Low Vision Awareness Month is an opportunity to change that by helping individuals discover the technology that can transform their daily lives.
