Lilac Blind Foundation by Doug Pond



Documentary Video student Doug Pond spent time with Lilac Blind Foundation of Spokane and produced this short film. Lilac provides counseling services, guide dogs, independent living education, computer support, and a whole host of other services for our region's blind or visually impaired population.

Of particular interest is the fact that blindness is on the rise in our country in spite of the miracles of Lasik and cataract surgery procedures. This increase is due largely to the rise in Diabetes and combat injuries.
