Low Vision Support Group

Low Vision Patients and Family members, At the Low Vision Center of Central New Jersey, we have always strived to connect with patients and their family members on all levels, from the cup of coffee that welcomes you to our office, to the smile the doctor brings as you leave. There has been countless times when our Low Vision patients have expressed their emotions of happiness, gratification, and yet, sadness during their visits. We've learned over the years that these patients need more than just office time to connect and share with us. This past September, we officially introduced our Low Vision Support Group. We have since had a variety of patients attend our groups who have shared very interesting stories, including triumphs, everyday challenges and frustrations they encounter as a result of their vision loss. The group has also served to allow members to generate new ideas to help each other, as well as provide a source of emotional support and networking.

Please join us in sharing your journey and experiences, and meet new friends, while sharing some delicious treats! Our group meets the 2nd Friday of each month. Our group is co-facilitated by our low vision occupational therapist, Elsa Zavoda, and Lavanya Nayar. Please contact our office for more information about our group at (732) 568-0038 for more information. We hope to see you there!
