For Healthcare Professionals
In Iowa, about 69,000 people are visually impaired, and of this number, about 10,000 are blind.
We Want to Be Your Resource
As a healthcare professional, it is likely you provide services or care to people with vision loss. The Iowa Department for the Blind (IDB) can be a valuable resource to you. Whether it is fielding a question regarding helpful visual aids and devices or giving instruction on the use of the long, white cane, we are here to help.
