  Dr. George Takeda, a well-respected Glendora Ophthalmologist, will speak to the effects and research of common eye diseases like Macular Degeneration, Glaucoma and Diabetic Retinopathy.  He will attempt to clear up some of the  questions we have about Wet and Dry macular degeneration and will leave us time to ask questions pertinent to our individual circumstances.

 Phil Obregon will treat us to a second round of accessible equipment materials.  This will give the members access to equipment that wasn’t available in November or that we didn’t have room to display.  There is an amazing array of devices out there to assist the visually impaired and this is your opportunity to have a hands-on experience with them.  Since all of the demonstrators are users of these items, they will be able to answer all of your questions regarding their use and convenience.

Come celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with a wonderful dinner presented by the EYE-DAS Foundation Board of Directors. The meal is always wonderful and there is no cost to the members! Last year we had bagpipe music after dinner. Who knows what will happen this time! Perhaps we can get the bagpipers to visit us, again.

Terri Howell of the California Telephone Access Program, will explain how EYE-DAS members can receive telephones adapted for the blind and visually impaired, at no cost! CTAP is a California State program created to benefit the disabled residents of California. Terri says that she has several new pieces of equipment specifically designed for the blind and visually impaired. Some are equipped for the hearing impaired, as well. Don’t miss the opportunity to inspect these new phones and to ask questions.
