Center for Students with Disabilities (CSD) - Low Vision Services


If you cannot see well enough to do the things you want, even though you wear regular glasses, NTC's Low Vision Services can help.

We've helped hundreds of people over the years who've come to us with specific needs:

  • People seeking work or wanting to retain their jobs.
  • Students having trouble keeping up with their reading assignments, seeing the chalkboard, or taking tests.
  • Homemakers who can't see the stove, read recipes, or match their clothes.
  • People who want to continue their recreational and leisure time.
  • Others who can't do the things we all take for granted because of a vision problem.

Do you fit into any of these categories? We can help! First, we'll do an individual evaluation to measure the extent of vision loss. Then, we'll help you select the optical aids that are right for you. They may seem foreign at first, but we'll also teach you how to use the visual aids so you feel comfortable and confident using them when you return home.

We have one of the most extensive collections of optical and non-optical aids in the state through our Technology Loan Center. Try out our special glasses, magnifying glasses, telescopes, electronic closed circuit television reading systems, sunglasses, and other non-visual aids.

As part of your evaluation, you'll meet with trained instructors plus an optometrist who can make specific recommendations and prescriptions. This comprehensive evaluation is what makes NTC unique. We take the time to evaluate each person individually to determine their goals and objectives. Then, we help them select those aids that will best meet their needs.

Besides low vision evaluation, NTC offers other services for visually impaired people, including vocational testing and career exploration, technical training and support services, and adaptive equipment to help you carry on a normal life.
