Description

The Blind and Visually Impaired Center of Monterey County is excited to announce the grand opening of the Marjorie R. McNeely Low-Vision Optometry Clinic and Assistive Technology Center. Light appetizers and refreshments will be served. Since 1971, The Blind and Visually Impaired Center of Monterey County has provided free and reduced cost services to Monterey County residents who are visually impaired, empowering them with education, support, and skills training for independent living. This new location will further their mission by offering expanded resources and innovative technology to the residents of Salinas and South Monterey County. 'With the creation of our second low-vision clinic, we can continue to expand our services into Salinas and South County. Clients will have the option to receive trainings and evaluations in our new Salinas site, or at our other location in Pacific Grove' said Steven Macias, Executive Director. 'As many of our clients are dependent on others for travel or rely on MST services, the transit time from King City to Salinas is much shorter than King City to Pacific Grove. We are grateful for AOA to have this partnership and location.'
