I can give you two figures. The one we know statistically is that one out of eight persons over the age of 75 will experience significant vision loss. At this point, CNIB is directly involved with 1,800 veterans who have a severe visual impairment.

My point is that the numbers don't line up. There are more people out there who probably could benefit from CNIB services. Right now it's not a high number--it's 1,800.
