Current News (within the last few months) First of all, I will let you know that I created this part of my site on a spur-of-the-moment type thing. I will not promise that it will always be accurate, or contain every piece of blindness-related news on the Web. I will post stories here that catch my attention, but I'm not going to go scrounging around the Web looking for every last bit of information. You have been warned!
If you would like to get recent blindness-related news by e-mail, subscribe to the Newsdesk mailing list. Note: This is NOT a discussion list and it is moderated.
Having said that, enjoy...
