CARSON CITY, NV – The Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation (DETR) Bureau of Services to the Blind and Visually Impaired is opening its first low vision clinic in northern Nevada. The quarterly clinic will be held over a three-day period and can see up to 20 clients during each period. The next low vision clinic is scheduled for November 20, 21 and 22. Patients need to be a VR Nevada client and should contact their rehabilitation counselor to be referred for a low vision assessment.

 

Two Town Hall meetings held by Vocational Rehabilitation Nevada in October 2024 provided a successful platform for collaboration and open dialog among VR Nevada administrators and community partners, clients, staff, and members of the public.
