What we do!

As the umbrella organization for the visually impaired since 1903, we are committed to enabling people who are blind, deafblind, visually impaired and hard of hearing/visually impaired to live their daily lives as independently as possible according to their own abilities.

• Research on phenomena related to blindness, low vision and deafblindness.
• Coordination of collaboration and advocacy in the field of visual impairment.
