How Can a Veteran with Poor
Vision Find Help?
The best way for a veteran who is visually impaired to get help is to contact
a VIST coordinator. VIST stands for "Visual Impairment Services Team." A VIST
coordinator will help a visually impaired veteran obtain all of the services he
or she may need. They will help educate the veteran and provide any needed
applications for services.
Contact us at (708) 202-2272 to find out where the closest VIST coordinator
is in your area.
For a list of VIST coordinators by state, as well as information about other
programs for veterans with impaired vision, visit the
VA Blind Rehabilitation National Web
Site.
The Blinded Veterans' Association (BVA) is
another excellent source of information and assistance. They can also direct you
to a VIST coordinator. The BVA's phone number is (800) 669-7079.
