People with
vision issues
Vision issue community
Vision Issue Community is a place where people with vision-issues can exchange their thoughts, worries, information, and talk openly together. Here, not only do peers gather to share their experiences, but their voices and ideas become hints for new technologies and services, connecting with companies, government, and researchers to move toward real-world implementation. A community where you can speak openly, freely, and positively about vision issues is waiting for you.
