Organized at LVPEI’s Banjara Hills Campus in Hyderabad, the day-long exhibition includes a guided tour to get firsthand experience of the ‘Spacefelt’ technology and an introduction to other assistive technology. 

The exhibition will be open for friends from the media from 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm on 19th May 2022.  Vision impairment can have immediate and long-term consequences in children and adults, such as lost educational and employment opportunities, lost economic gain for individuals, families, and societies, and impaired quality of life. Unfortunately, 90% of the world’s visually impaired live in resource-poor countries such as India. The L V Prasad Eye Institute (LVPEI) initiated vision rehabilitation services in 1992 and since then has been providing comprehensive care that ranges from assessment and prescription of low vision devices to social, educational, and vocational rehabilitation through training persons with low vision and blindness to the highest possible level of functional ability. LVPEI has successfully rehabilitated over 2 Lac persons with low vision and blindness across all age groups and economic strata of society. These services are provided free of cost to the people who cannot afford it and are also an integral part of LVPEI’s rural eye care network.
