Through their “Stronger Together” partnership, Vision Loss Rehabilitation Canada (VLRC) is proud to work cooperatively with its partner organizations, CNIB and CNIB Deafblind Community Services (DBCS), as we band together to level the playing field for Canadians who are blind, partially sighted, and Deafblind.

The VLRC Medical Mobile Eye Care Unit, known as the Eye Van, has set off on its annual tour, marking the 50th anniversary of the program.

Since 1972, the VLRC Eye Van has been providing eye care to thousands of people in Northern Ontario each year.

This year’s tour will see the Eye Van visit 20 communities over 28 jam-packed weeks!

We’re committed to protecting the health of all patients and staff members aboard the Eye Van.

Strabismus is the medical term for misalignment of the two eyes that are not straight. It occurs in at least five per cent of the population.

Amblyopia (commonly known as “lazy eye”) happens when the vision in one eye doesn't develop properly in early childhood.

Glaucoma occurs due to damage to the optic nerve. Over time the disease develops into a loss of peripheral (side) vision.
