Adults and Seniors




Providing adults and seniors with vision loss the skills, tools and resources needed for maintaining independence in their homes and the community.

Since its creation, the Adults and Seniors Program has been growing steadily, and today the program serves more than 3500 individuals annually.

The San Antonio Lighthouse for the Blind & Vision Impaired offers adults and seniors who are experiencing various degrees of vision loss the opportunity to remain independent and active through six program services. These program services are sponsored free of charge to qualifying individuals who are enrolled in the program.

  4. Low Vision Clinic Services: The Low Vision examination provides an eye evaluation to help visually impaired adults and seniors maximize the use of their remaining vision.
