Who We Are
The Bucks County Association For The Blind And Visually Impaired (BCABVI) is an independent, non-profit organization serving the blind and visually impaired community of Bucks County, PA since 1945.
We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive, and we are committed to helping our clients lead rich, vibrant, and independent lives.
Our Mission is to connect, advocate, and eduate through services that enhance the quality of life for people impacted by vision loss.
What We Do
Services
We help clients navigate their vision loss journey by providing individualized rehabilitation and support services. In partnership with our clients, our professional staff identifies the right combination of services, vision evaluations, assistive technology, education, resources and support needed for personal success.
Outreach
We educate our community and raise public awareness about vision loss. We offer presentations that address symptoms and treatments for eye diseases, causes, implications and prevention of vision loss and teach best practices to support people with visual impairments.
Who We Help
Eligibility
We assist eligible Bucks County, PA, residents who are experiencing low vision or blindness. Low vision is a disabling visual impairment that interferes with your ability to function in daily life and cannot be corrected with traditional visual aids.
You can receive services if you have a visual acuity of 20/70 or worse in your better eye that cannot be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, medicine, or surgery, or a visual field of 20 degrees or less.
