Careers
What is a Vision Professional?
Vision professionals can make positive changes in another person’s life. There are a variety of professions in the vision community, working in a variety of environments, and with a range of employment options.
Vision professionals work with public or private organizations, with children and adults, and with educational, medical and rehabilitation professionals.

Teachers of Students with Visual Impairments (TVI) teach children to explore the world by learning how to interpret what they hear, feel and smell.
