Over 1.3 billion people are visually impaired worldwide, of whom 217 million have moderate to severe vision impairment, and 36 million people are blind (WHO, 2018).
Luckily, thousands of low vision & blind organizations are offering services to people in need. Even so, those organizations could not satisfy all requirements of so many people, such as new technology training.
Zoomax, as a leading company of initiative low vision products, welcomes and also would like to cooperate with low vision centers to help expand the service range and let more visually impaired people enjoy the independent life with the advanced assistive technology.
