The American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) is featuring The Lighthouse as the "Agency of the Month" on their Senior Site in Janauary.  Senior Site was created to help older Americans and their family members cope with age-related eye diseases—a growing public health problem in this country.

Also featured on the website is Out of Sight, Not Out of Mind, a book written by noted philanthropist Lindy Bergman and professionals from The Chicago Lighthosue.

AFB Senior Site is designed to encourage aging adults with eye diseases to live independently and productively. The site connects seniors, family members, and caregivers to local services and showcases a wide range of assistive living products available to people with vision loss. It also contains information on the resources and tools needed to continue to read, shop, cook, manage finances, and go out with friends.
