TAX BENEFIT

Purchase a Diagnostic Kit and Save!
If you are based in the US and considering the purchase of a diagnostic assortment of low vision devices, you could save thousands of dollars if you purchase one by the end of the year by using the IRS Section 179 tax benefit. This benefit allows your practice to deduct the full purchase price of equipment that you finance during the tax year and the amount you can deduct has been increased for 2024!

Learn more about the tax deduction HERE and be sure to talk with your tax advisor.

SPACE CAMP

Empowering Visually Impaired Students at Space Camp!
Our two sponsored students had an unforgettable week at Space Camp, where they got to complete a thrilling space mission and experience how real NASA astronauts train. This incredible program aims to empower students who are visually impaired to explore the fields of science and engineering through hands-on activities. As Jack K. shared, “It was a super cool week and definitely makes me want to continue to pursue engineering as a career.”
