Vision Loss Support Group
Patient support program

OHSU Casey Eye Institute is excited to offer a Vision Loss Support Group for people in the Portland, OR area who are experiencing changes to their vision, vision loss or low vision and want to receive additional support and information.
Casey's Vision Loss Support Group is a great place to:
- Connect with others experiencing similar challenges
- Learn about adaptive skills to manage the impact of changes in vision on functioning
- Share your personal story and strategies for dealing with vision loss and changes to vision
- Learn about helpful tools, resources and tips to live life to the fullest from professionals from Casey and the community
The support group is led by Casey social worker Tara Albury, MSW, LCSW. Family members are welcome.
If you do not feel a group experience would be beneficial for you, Casey social worker, Tara Albury, MSW, LCSW, can also offer patients one-on-one support in person or over the phone to assist with adapting to the impact of changes to your vision or other difficult ophthalmology diagnoses.
The Patient Support Program is expanding, more support groups to come. Stay tuned for more information.
Interested in participating or have questions? Please contact Casey's social worker, Tara Albury, MSW, LCSW at 503-494-1618.
