For people with vision loss, low vision devices are vital tools for health, safety, and independent living. Incredibly, the federal agency that administers the Medicare program has ruled that Medicare will refuse to pay for any of these crucial specialized devices simply on the grounds that such devices are just like ordinary eye glasses or contact lenses which are categorically excluded from coverage by law.

Join us. Sign our petition urging all Members of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives to promptly enact legislation addressing this unacceptable national policy.

Medicare beneficiaries living with vision loss must be provided with the full array of devices and services they need to live full and healthy lives. While some of this assistive technology is quite affordable, the cost of some of the most powerful and effective devices places them well out of reach for many.

Tell the United States Congress to act now. End our national Medicare system's shameful failure to provide coverage for any low vision device whatsoever, from simple hand-held aids to more powerful and feature-rich video magnifiers.
