Health and Safety

Whether it's independent living services for older individuals who are blind or visually impaired, accessibility of in-patient and home health technologies, or raising awareness of the unique health-related needs of individuals with vision loss among policymakers and the healthcare industry, AFB's Public Policy Center is dedicated to the health and well-being of people with vision loss of all ages—including the prevention of avoidable injuries.
