The best example of seeing happiness is hearing Robert Spangler share his keys to success in this interview. Highlights include the concept that ‘he didn’t even know he had a problem, he just couldn’t see clearly’, and proving to himself and others that he could do whatever he set his mind to. Robert also talks about an organization, CCLVI, where one can apply for low vision scholarships. He also discusses the value of magnifiers, talking books and screen readers.

Eye Doctors - Patients like Robert could be a great resource for other patients. Just because you can not sell this person anything, his value is priceless. Low Vision to No Vision patients have family, friends, and community resources who could be patients for you.
