We serve Singapore citizens and permanent residents of all age groups. They must be certified as having low vision (partial sight), or blind, by an eye specialist or ophthalmologist. These includes people who are born blind as well as those who have lost their vision through ageing, accidents or illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension, tumour, eye infection and others.
Clients are entitled to the whole range of services at the Association including eye care, rehabilitation, training and counselling, provided mostly free of charge. They are also eligible to receive subsidies to purchase assistive devices, subject to means testing.
