Living with vision loss doesn’t mean losing your independence. At Curtis Strong and Ensight Skills Centers, we believe that education is power, and when it comes to vision loss, the more you know, the more you’ll be able to adapt and thrive.
Our Mission: Supporting Colorado’s Low Vision Community
Curtis Strong and Ensight Skills Centers are dedicated to providing Colorado residents with low vision, accurate, and valuable resources that can significantly increase independence and well-being. We understand that navigating life with vision challenges requires specialized knowledge, tools, and support systems.
Our comprehensive approach covers everything from understanding eye disorders to mastering assistive technology like low vision cell phones, learning balance and mobility exercises, and connecting with others who share similar experiences. We value your feedback and actively seek information that helps us better educate our community.
