We are New Zealand’s leading provider of vision rehabilitation, providing practical and emotional support for people with vision loss.

We support people with no or limited useful sight that makes doing day-to-day tasks a challenge, even with the best corrective lenses. Approximately three quarters of the people we work with have some vision (which we call low vision), and the remainder are blind.

Blind and Low Visions NZ services include:

  • Accessible library

  • Daily living skills

  • Support

  • Community

  • Technology

  • Employment support

  • Specialist services
