From the Blind & Vision Rehabilitation Services
Starting in October, Blind & Vision Rehabilitation Services of Pittsburgh’s low vision program will have evening appointments available on Tuesdays at our Homestead office, 1800 West Street. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call 412-368-4400.
BVRS’s low vision program provides services to people who have some usable vision. Our specially trained optometrist performs an exam to determine the person’s level of vision, and then prescribes optical aids designed to maximize remaining eyesight. The new hours are Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; Tuesday 8:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., and Friday 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
