The Council is involved in obtaining Federal money for the purchase of vision aids and eliminating architectural barriers for the partially sighted. Membership is open to all persons with low vision and to their families.
The Council publishes a brochure describing itself and its aims. Serial publication: Newsletter, quarterly--information on aspects of low vision, legislation, resources, and announcements of meetings.
