Fitness & Fun

Advancing vision loss can often discourage people from the recreational pursuits they always enjoyed. In some ways, this is understandable. When an activity becomes too much of a struggle, it simply isn't "fun" anymore. On the other hand, vision loss doesn't erase our basic need for the physical and mental rewards of play and relaxation. Whatever you do to keep fit and unwind, this section will help you stay in the game.
