The numbers we share tell a story of progress, but the real testament lies in the testimonials from those who have experienced the transformative effects of our services. Read on to see the positive impact our services are having for those navigating low vision challenges:

“I wish I had known about Ensight sooner. The services my dad received from Ensight made a great deal of difference in his attitude and ability to stay active and independent. He is reading again and working on his hobbies! Thank you, Ensight.”

“My angels! After I was diagnosed with Macular Degeneration I got very depressed. Ensight’s occupational therapist, optometrist, and support staff showed me that I could be independent. I just needed to adapt. I don’t even want to think about where I would be today without Ensight.”

“I feel like there is hope for my future. When my mom lost her vision, I was so scared it would happen to me. Now, with the support of Ensight, I know that I can find my own way, even with Macular Degeneration.”
