The real problem of blindness is not the lack of eyesight. The real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of information which exist. If a blind person has proper training and opportunity, blindness is only a physical nuisance.
The National Federation of the Blind of Pennsylvania (NFBP) is a state affiliate of the National Federation of the Blind and works to enable those who cannot see live like those who can.
