Nonprofit Overview

Causes: Eye Diseases, Blindness & Vision Impairments, Health, Rehabilitative Care, Specifically Named Diseases

Mission: Established in 1978 by Samuel M. Genensky, Ph.D., The Center for the Partially Sighted is nationally renowned for its programs in low vision care and has continued its dedication to helping partially sighted individuals maximize the use of any remaining vision. As a result of the skills we teach and the special optical and non-optical devices we prescribe, our vision impaired clients of all ages are able to live independently within mainstream society. Our future program plans include expanding our services throughout Southern California.

A wonderful organization that does a lot with a little. My vision is compromised which is one of the reasons I decided to volunteer for this particular non-profit. I don't need their services yet, or maybe I never will, but I see what a life-changing difference CPS does make in the lives of those who would be dependent on others if not for this organization. Can you imagine what YOUR life would be like if had low vision and no where to turn for help?

The CPS is an amazing facility. Founded by Samuel M. Genensky, PhD, (my late husband), I continually am impressed with the help given to those who are visually impaired. I have sign language skills and am frequently called upon to interpret for the Deaf/blind/visually impaired patient. The kindness, care, dedication and understanding of all the staff is wonderful to see. I have seen the Center grow from a very small operation to one where now every conceivable visual aid is available to all who need specific help with their vision. The optometrists specialize in low vision are first class, and the College of Optometry sends students to intern at the facility.
