Welcome to
Eye-Link
Wisconsin

Our mission is to provide adaptive technology and related training to WISCONSIN Residents who are blind or visually impaired.
DONATE
There is a wide array of assistive/adaptive equipment available which immediately improves the quality of lives. Giving this critical equipment to Wisconsin residents challenged by irreparable sight loss is the sole mission of Eye-Link Wisconsin!

Getting assistive/adaptive tools that reopen all channels of information has a positive impact on people whose lives have been altered by the onset of irreparable sight loss. This specially designed equipment featuring hardware & software packages that literally “reads“, offers new ways to read books, newspapers, playing cards, and even prescriptions. Receiving and using adaptive technologies reopens doors to information that have been closed by losing functional sight. Learning to use adaptive technology immediately begins to restore self-esteem, self-sufficiency, confidence, and independence.

Eye-Link Wisconsin furnishes this vital equipment free of any charges to residents experiencing unrecoverable vision impairment.
