Who we are and What we do
Visual Impairment & Blindness Services (VIABL Services) believes that individuals affected by vision loss should not have to choose between curtailing activities they once enjoyed and retaining their independence.
This non-profit agency, a member of the Pennsylvania Association for the Blind, assists the residents of Northampton and Monroe Counties in eastern Pennsylvania who are blind or visually impaired to lead well-adjusted, rewarding and productive lives by providing services and programs designed to prevent, prepare for, and manage vision loss.
Our Services and Programs
Client Services
Agency caseworkers employ current rehabilitation philosophies which focus on integrated services to help blind or visually impaired people live full and satisfying lives.
Low Vision Services
Individuals who no longer find eye glasses or contact lenses adequate for reading or viewing objects at a distance can find help for their deteriorating vision using adaptive technology, or specialized vision aids.
Eye Care Clinic
Unique in the Lehigh Valley, the Eye Care Clinic serves working poor and low income families, providing them with much needed eye exams, vision services and corrective lenses.
Prevention of Blindness
Outreach programs introduce adults and children to eye safety and eye health, increase the public's understanding and respect for people who are blind or visually impaired, and provide free vision screenings for area children.
