We Take a Closer Look
What is CCCLV?
We are visually impaired Californians who have joined together as consumers to advocate for ourselves by:
1. Educating the public and professionals about the capabilities and needs of persons with Low Vision.
2. Providing a forum for the exchange of ideas and information about living successfully with Low Vision.
3. Promoting the right of Low Vision persons to make full use of their remaining vision through the use of visual aids, services and technology.

CCCLV Is Active
Twice a year we meet in conventions to:
