The COS, represented
by Mary Lou Jackson of Victoria, B.C, participated in
a CNIB study on low vision this past summer. The study
was the result of a collaboration of seniors aged 60
to 81 years, eye care professionals (ophthalmologists,
optometrists and opticians), and vision rehabilitation
practitioners such as ophthalmic nurses and technicians.
This study was funded by a government of Canada grant
and a report will be available through the CNIB. The
COS has made a commitment to develop more programs in
this particular area.
