The Future

We are always looking to the future. According to a recent study*, 80 million Americans are afflicted with potentially blinding eye disorders. That number is expected to increase dramatically in the next ten years, largely as a result of the aging Baby Boomer population.

To help address this challenge, we developed working relationships with Lions Clubs, schools for the blind and technology companies to help make certain that our efforts align with the latest innovations for people with visual disabilities. We also carefully monitor our staffing levels and facilities to make certain that as the need for guide dogs grows, that we are prepared to meet the needs of a generation of people with visual disabilities.
