October is blindness awareness month, and a month to bring a heightened focus on the blind and visually impaired community, and the realization of living without sight.

It is estimated that 2.2 billion people around the globe suffer from some form of visual impairment or blindness, and we dedicate this month to educating, inspiring, and advocating for the visually impaired.

Between teaching the public about good eye health, sharing stories about the incredible things visually impaired individuals are accomplishing, to organizations garnering support for more resources, research, and laws that enable people with visual impairments to live an independent life, there is surely no shortage of ways we can learn about, celebrate, and support the visually impaired community.
