AFB's Research Team is Looking for Your Help!

The American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) is conducting a research study seeking U.S.-based adults 55 and older who are experiencing changes in their vision. The aim of the study is to understand what it’s like for older adults to adjust to vision changes and what services can help them. We are especially interested in including the perspectives of individuals who have chosen not to participate in vision rehabilitation or support services and who prefer to remain unaffiliated with blindness or low vision groups.

To assist with our study, interested participants will complete a 60-minute interview or a 90-minute focus group, in person or virtually, with AFB researchers. Participants will be paid for their time.

Here's how you can help: Share our Aging Study Flyer with people you know who are at least 55 years old, have had recent changes in their vision, are not affiliated with any blindness groups, and have not received vision rehabilitation. For example, you might share this link with your relatives, neighbors, fellow church members, friends, and others in your community who fit these criteria.

Thank you for your support of this valuable research!

Best regards,

A smiling woman with short wavy hair.
