Out of Sight – September 2025
Dear Retina South Africa Members and Supporters,
In this edition, we explore significant advancements in automated vehicles and their potential to enhance independence for individuals
with visual impairments. We are also proud to introduce the Umsizi reader, a transformative tool enabling our members to access texts
in all of South Africa’s official languages.
Retina South Africa continues to lead in advocating for those with rare retinal conditions, and we extend our deepest gratitude to the
Chan Zuckerberg Initiative for their generous grant supporting our outreach program in the Western Cape this September. Details of
this initiative is included in the newsletter.
We are also preparing for the Double Century event in November.
We invite you to meet the Retina South Africa team participating and encourage your contributions to this meaningful cause. Additionally, please find information about our Zanzibar raffle and the Ride Joburg charity event, both of which promise to be exciting
opportunities for engagement.
