A Message From Our Founder, Stuart Flom
My desire to offer answers to the growing number of people with low vision was the inspiration for launching my company, AdaptiVision, in 1994. My background in teaching, combined with experience in the vision lighting technology industry, are the building blocks of AdaptiVision. I enjoy helping people with low vision become more independent through AdaptiVision’s reading, writing and daily living aids. Our primary goal is to provide the best low vision technology and lighting solutions specific to the individual’s needs.
