Welcome to AAPVI
In January 2005, a group of parents responding to their own needs founded AAPVI in Melbourne, Australia. It's simple aim was to support each other in reference to their vision impaired children.

Calling anyone with Lowe’s syndrome!
It is a very rare genetic condition and wondered if anyone has come across others living with this condition? If so, could they please get in contact with AAPVI.
