The Louisiana Association for the Blind
(LAB) has been dedicated to improving the quality of life
for the blind through training, services, and employment
for over 80 years. We now offer a new Low Vision Center
to serve the ARKLATEX area. Our center provides a full range
of services and low vision products for people at all age
levels, who are legally blind or low vision. The Center
is a one-stop location with three distinct areas: the Low
Vision Clinic offering Low Vision Evaluations after referral
from your eye care professional; Sensory Aids Store that
is open daily to the general public offering the latest
technology to enhance your remaining vision levels; and
a Training Center offering complete rehabilitation services
and programs for all ages. The Center eliminates the stress
and time spent traveling between multiple facilities to
obtain these services! All services are designed to meet
your personal goals and needs. The Center has a highly qualified
staff of professionals on site, who give personal attention
to every client and every detail.
To participate in a Low Vision Evaluation,
all you need to do is ask your Optometrist or Ophthalmologist
for a low vision evaluation referral. Our staff will perform
the necessary testing to determine what aids may help you
improve your remaining vision. As an approved provider for
Louisiana Rehabilitation Services, we teach clients the
skills necessary to re-enter the workforce to include orientation
and mobility training, Braille, independent living skills,
computer navigation and other specific training to reach
individual employment goals. We are an approved Medicare
provider.
