VISIONS 2024, the national conference of the Foundation Fighting Blindness, is a one-of-a-kind event in which individuals who are visually impaired, and their families, have the opportunity to hear about exciting advancements in blindness research. All attendees can gain practical skills for coping with vision loss, learn about products and services that can improve their lives, and connect with others from across the country.
The conference is designed specifically for individuals and families who are affected by blinding retinal diseases such as age-related macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, Usher syndrome, and related conditions. These diseases cause progressive blindness and affect more than 10 million Americans and millions more around the world.
More than 500 individuals in the visually impaired community are expected to attend this informative and encouraging conference. VISIONS 2024 provides the perfect backdrop for organizations offering low-vision products, services, and resources to meet with and market their brand to this targeted audience.
