About this organization
Mission
Charting a course for Living, Learning and Earning with Vision Loss is the mission of Lighthouse Central Florida. Since 1976, our organization has been the primary community resource for Central Floridians living with low vision or blindness. Established and developed by thousands of stakeholders over four decades, Lighthouse offers a growing menu of vision-specific rehabilitation services to people of all ages with the goal of successful independent living, academic success and meaningful and gainful careers. As stated by the American Academy of Ophthalmology, professional vision rehabilitation services are the standard of care for patients experiencing visual conditions (acuity of less than 20/40, scotoma, field loss or contrast sensitivity loss) that cannot be corrected by surgery or lenses. LCF offers an extensive menu of professional vision rehabilitation services designed to empower people living with low vision and blindness to travel safely, access text, communicate and work in typical office environments using innovative and affordable technology solutions, and participate in all activities of daily life utilizing adapted techniques. For younger clients, LCF provides specialized vision-specific training that will enable academic success, job readiness, career development and successful independent living. Lighthouse also seeks to enlighten the greater Central Florida Community to the capabilities of its residents who are living with visual impairment or blindness as active participants, consumers and employees; and the benefits of assuring universal access in its transportation systems, building accommodations, and communications and technology solutions.
