Vision Enhancement Also Offers You: Current information on medical treatment and devices helpful to the vision impaired. This field is moving so rapidly that even medical personnel are having difficulty staying current. The vision impaired can be tragically unaware of developments which might help them. Psychological support and encouragement to the vision impaired and their families. Because vision loss involves an emotional journey very much like grief caused by death, it is vital to help the vision impaired and their families cope with denial, anger and the other key phases. An interface between patients and doctors. Because it is vital that the caregiver community understands vision loss---particularly the psychological impact---from the standpoint of the patient, Vision Enhancement deals specifically with this interface. A consumer-protection clearinghouse. Because they want so desperately to find a cure, vision impaired people are vulnerable to false promises from unethical marketers of goods and services. These predators rob the vision impaired of both money and hope, and it is one of Vision World Wide's highest purposes to defeat them.
