Printer-Friendly Format

Did you know that blind veterans may be eligible for outpatient services at a VA Medical Center or for admission to a VA blind rehabilitation center or clinic? Services are available at all VA medical facilities through the Visual Impairment Services (VIST) Coordinator.

Aids and services for blind veterans may include:

  • A complete health and benefits review by a VA Visual Impairment Services team;
  • Training for adjustment to blindness; 
  • Home adaptations;
  • Low vision aids and training in their use;
  • Electronic aids, including adaptive computers and computer-assisted devices; 
  • Guide dogs and training, and assistance with the cost of the dog's medical care;
  • Braille literature, talking books, and tapes
