General Information

The Houston Low Vision Club is sponsored by the Center for Sight Enhancement at the University of Houston, College of Optometry.

The club's objective is to assist those experiencing significantly reduced vision loss to discover ways to continue daily activities and maintain their independence. In addition to providing members access to valuable information, the club provides the visually impaired an opportunity to talk with others that share their challenges, including family members and friends. Membership in the club is available to all adults who are experiencing some loss of visual acuity, their friends, and those interested in the field of sight enhancement.

Club meetings frequently include guest speakers from the Center for Sight enhancement, other agencies, or commercial providers. In the past these have included manufacturers of specialty equipment, specialist in mobility, driver training, state agencies such as DARS, and Lighthouse for the Blind. Field trips are frequently an option.

  • Regular Meetings are held on fourth Saturdays from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM at the University of Houston - J. Davis Armistead Building - Building 505 - 2nd Floor - above the University Eye Institute - (Maps & Directions)
