Individuals coping with vision loss due to eye conditions such as macular degeneration, or glaucoma, or diabetic retinopathy may be feeling depressed, alone, and hopeless. Our main purpose is to help these individuals cope with their visual impairment issues through various means.
For over 25 years OASIS for the Visually Impaired has been helping individuals in Chicago’s south suburban area who have vision loss. We offer help through monthly support group sessions, community education seminars, information or referral services.
By attending OASIS support group sessions, those who have recently become visually impaired or are living with blindness can gain newfound hope as they discover they are not alone. They can experience the love of other members with similar sight loss who have a positive outlook on life.
OASIS provides education and resources regarding adaptive skills which are necessary for independence. Low-vision devices play a major role in the areas of personal and vocational needs and help to enhance activities of daily living.
OASIS also invites eye care professionals and other community professionals to provide educational seminars on many topics.
