TAX BENEFIT

Purchase a Diagnostic Assortment 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.

Learn more about the tax deduction at www.section179.org and be sure to talk with your tax advisor.

SPACE CAMP

Space Campers at Work!

Jayden and Jackson got to fully participate in the Space Camp for Interested Visually Impaired Students (SCIVIS) program due to the adaptations that were made to make it accessible to all. Braille and large print items were made available to the students so they could read instructions and follow directions during each step of the process and complete their astronaut training and everyone got to participate in the interactive simulations like the 1/6th Gravity Chair and a multi-axis trainer.

See more of their exciting journey on our website at www.eschenbach.com/about-us/giving-back.
