Greater Boston Guild for the Blind

With effective education, people who are blind or visually impaired or at risk of vision loss can learn how to be independent and live safely in their homes for as long as possible. That is the goal of the Greater Boston Guild for the Blind (GBGB), which offers vision loss prevention and health promotion programs to people of all ages in the Greater Boston community free of charge. Through programs led by qualified professionals, consumers and caregivers receive information on vision loss; diabetes education; low-vision rehabilitation techniques, devices, and services; and access to vision care in their communities. GBGB focuses on helping people with or at risk for vision loss, and those who care for them to preserve remaining vision, if applicable, and to live productive, fulfilling lives.
