About this resource

The Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired - Lewiston focuses on providing vocational training and skills to help clients return to work in roles that suit them best. They also offer restoration services aimed at preventing blindness, which include eye surgeries, cataract removal, and managing the progression of diabetic retinopathy and other eye conditions. Rehabilitation services are available to enhance independent living skills, allowing individuals to maintain autonomy in their homes. Additionally, they assist with enrollment for talking books at the state library, conduct low vision assessments, and help clients choose and acquire magnifiers and other low vision aids. Support is also provided to individuals with diabetes, including financial assistance for specialized equipment and guidance in locating items like talking calculators and long oven mitts. Training in cane travel and Braille is available, along with home modification services. The organization operates an ICBVI store where both clients and the public can buy adaptive aids such as talking clocks, games, wristwatches, contrast sheets, large print timers, and more, while also searching for specific products as needed. Services are offered in English.
