Welcome to CVI’s SightSeeing Blog!
Here we discuss topics of interest and importance to the community. Some of the posts are personal stories from CVI clients, perspectives from CVI’s expert staff, hot topic issues, the latest trends in technology for the visually impaired, and much more. Our desire is that this blog is a useful tool to enlighten, educate and provide needed information in a meaningful dialogue for both the blind and sighted communities. Join us as we invite you to share and discuss the topics with us.
