Veterans who are blind or visually impaired may be eligible for multiple services from a Veterans Administration (VA) Medical Center or for admission to a VA blind rehabilitation center or clinic. At all VA medical facilities assistance is available through the Visual Impairment Services (VIST) Coordinator. Veterans can access a health and benefits review, Adjustment to Blindness Training, home improvements and structural improvements to home, adapted housing, low vision devices, and much more. DAV, a nonprofit charitable organization supporting veterans and family members, provides extensive information and resources. Check out their write up on resources for blind veterans.
