What does HACB mean in NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS

The Hampshire Association for the Care of the Blind provides various services to support and empower individuals who are blind or partially sighted, including low vision assessments, equipment supply, rehabilitation and training. We also provide emotional and practical support to individuals and their families.

A low vision assessment evaluates an individual’s remaining visual abilities in order to identify strategies and solutions that may help them better manage everyday tasks. During an assessment, we will assess the individual’s ability to see at different distances, identify magnifying devices that could be beneficial, as well as explore other non-visual strategies for completing daily activities.
