That's a great resource to explore! Unfortunately, there aren't any specific experiences shared from myAMDteam members about applying to the Xavier Society for the Blind.

However, many people with wet AMD do find low-vision aids — like large print and audio materials — really helpful for staying independent and maintaining quality of life.

A few tips that might help with your application:

- Ask your ophthalmologist for documentation of your vision loss, as most programs require proof of visual impairment
- Have your diagnosis details handy, including any records of vision measurements
- If you hit a wall, a social worker familiar with vision loss resources can often help navigate the process

It may also be worth asking your eye doctor or a low-vision rehabilitation specialist — they often know the ins and outs of these programs and can point you in the right direction.
