Spotlight: Bucks County Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired

As our country celebrates its 250th anniversary, the Bucks County Association For The Blind  And Visually Impaired (BCABVI) continues its proud tradition of serving Bucks County residents.  Since our founding in 1945, when WW2 veterans came home from the war experiencing vision  loss, our organization has been dedicated to helping blind and visually impaired residents lead  rich, vibrant and independent lives. 

For over 80 years, we’ve evolved to meet the changing needs of our clients. We provide  essential low vision eye examinations, rehabilitation services and training on the latest aids and devices at our state-of-the-art Low Vision Clinic. Our in-home support services include low  vision home adaptations, assistive technology training and household management.  Additionally, we offer support groups and programs, including in-person events, peer groups, life skills training and health & wellness. Our services are tailored to empower our clients and ensure  they receive the best resources along their journey with vision loss. 

For younger residents, BCABVI offers free preschool vision screenings to identify vision issues  early. If an issue is found during the screening, we refer families for appropriate follow-up  care.  

BCABVI owns and operates the Second Look Newtown Thrift Shop, with 100% of the revenue  generated from donations and sales supporting essential services and programs for our blind  and visually impaired clients. 

As our country celebrates its 250th anniversary, we reaffirm our commitment to serving blind  and visually impaired residents throughout Bucks County. Thank you to our staff, volunteers,  board members, partners, donors and the public for helping to support our nonprofit  organization for more than 80 years.
