Braille Center Offers Free Consultations

People experiencing vision problems may schedule a free consultation at the Braille Institute Visual Aids center in Anaheim or at various community centers in Orange County.

“All you need to do is get a written referral from your doctor and make an appointment to come in,” said Jamie McAllister, a visual aids consultant. “Many people don’t realize they don’t have to be legally blind for a consultation.”

The institute’s consultants evaluate visual acuity and determine what types of devices are needed, such as special magnifiers or lighting units.
