    Full circle moment today when Hannah Patterson and I had the opportunity to volunteer with Envision, Inc., the non-profit that produces many of the DoD’s most used products, including entrenching tool bags, ACU trousers, and those quintessential vinyl award binders. It was like watching an episode of “How It’s Made” in real life! Envision is one of the nation’s largest employers of people with vision loss. I was impressed by their operational efficiency as well as the genuine kindness of their employees. If you’re in the DFW metroplex I highly recommend volunteering with Envision. Many thanks to Abby Lautin for being a gracious host!

    Two customers, one Dallas manufacturing floor, and the same standards that brought them here: skilled work, precision quality, a domestic partner they can count on. When Oncor Electric Delivery needed a reliable domestic manufacturer for flame-resistant safety vests, the Envision team sourced new materials, launched production, and exceeded expectations within months, with reorders running 45 percent above forecast. The Dallas Founder Lions Club came to Envision through a different connection: a century-long commitment to supporting people who are blind or have low vision. Its branded service vests are now made by employees who are blind or have low vision at Envision's Farmers Branch facility. Different customers. Same standard. Both partnerships show what makes Envision's model distinct: domestic manufacturing that delivers the quality, reliability, and service customers need while creating skilled employment for people who are blind or have low vision in the Dallas area.

  • On June 17, Envision participated in the Wichita Regional Chamber of Commerce’s Federal Issue Forum featuring U.S. Congressman Ron Estes, joining regional business and community leaders for a conversation on federal legislation shaping Wichita’s economy. Representing Envision, Teresa Houston was joined by President and CEO Michael Monteferrante, Senior Vice President Molly Edwards-Workman, and other Envision leaders and board members for conversations around the federal issues that shape employment and opportunity for people who are blind or have low vision. Envision has expanded access and opportunities for people who are blind or have low vision since 1933 through employment, outreach, rehabilitation, education and research. Engaging in these conversations with the leaders who shape federal policy is one way that work continues to move forward. Thank you to the Wichita Regional Chamber of Commerce for convening this important discussion.

  • For someone experiencing vision loss, a diagnosis is only one part of the story. What often comes next are the daily questions:  How do I keep working?  How do I move through my home safely?  How do I use technology differently?  How do I keep doing the things that matter to me?  That is where Envision’s services can help. Through practical training, adaptive tools, assistive technology and individualized support, Envision helps people who are blind or have low vision build skills for greater independence in daily life. As Vision Rehabilitation Week is recognized nationally, we are also recognizing the role physicians, clinicians and community partners play in helping people and families find the right support sooner. A referral can help connect someone to services that support confidence, independence and quality of life beyond diagnosis. Connect them to tools, training and support designed to build confidence and independence in daily life. Visit Envisionrehab.com to learn more.

  • Access to opportunity can change what is possible. For Kimberly Bunch, Envision has become a place to work, contribute, support others and be recognized for the impact she makes every day. Kimberly is part of the sewing team in Dallas, where she brings skill, care and leadership to her work and to the people around her. Born totally blind and later regaining some vision as a child, she grew up as the only person in her family with vision loss. At the Louisiana School for the Visually Impaired, she discovered a passion for mentoring younger students — a commitment to service that continues today through her role at Envision. In addition to her work in the sewing department, Kimberly helps coordinate afternoon transportation for fellow employees, making sure team members safely connect with the right Uber or DART van after their shifts. Her dedication recently earned national Employee of the Year recognition through National Industries for the Blind. Her story is a reminder of why expanding access and opportunity matters: when people who are blind or have low vision are supported and trusted to contribute, they lead, serve and strengthen the communities around them. Read more about Kimberly’s journey and the purpose she finds in helping others on our website.

  • Access remains one of the biggest challenges in eye care, particularly for individuals living in rural and underserved communities where transportation, cost and provider shortages can delay critical diagnoses. Dr. Jeremy Barton at the Envision Research Institute is helping advance research focused on addressing those barriers through portable diagnostic technology. By bringing screening capabilities closer to patients, researchers aim to improve access to early detection and intervention for vision-threatening conditions. This work reflects the power of innovation to expand healthcare access, strengthen outcomes and create new opportunities to prevent avoidable vision loss. Read more about the research and its potential impact on the future of eye care on our website.
