THE EYE SITE Exhibit on Low Vision Continues to Tour the Country When: October 2005
Where: Nationwide
Institute: National Eye Institute (NEI) To help people understand low vision (vision problems that interfere with a person's ability to perform everyday activities) and to explain what people with vision loss can do to stay independent, NEI developed THE EYE SITE: A Traveling Exhibit on Low Vision for Shopping Centers. The exhibit will visit malls and other venues in Maryland and Montana during 2005.
Two identical exhibits have been on tour since 2001. By the end of 2005, the exhibits will have traveled to 81 malls in 33 states and the District of Columbia. Since THE EYE SITE tour was launched, NEI has:
- Given more than 36 million people the opportunity to visit the exhibit and learn about low vision.
- Distributed almost 70,000 publications.
- Worked with more than 70 vision-related organizations to offer nearly 200 public events.
