Main Library - 5201 Woodward Avenue, Detroit, MI 48202


The exhibit provides information on low vision and features five kiosks with an interactive multimedia touchscreen program, a display of assistive devices, and a list of local low vision resources. Low vision affects millions of Americans. Defined as a visual impairment not correctable by regular eyeglasses, contact lenses, medicine, or surgery, low vision interferes with a persons ability to perform everyday activities.

The exhibit provides a wealth of information about low vision and will help people determine if they or someone they know may have low vision.
