Ability 2 Access

Julie has served in the industry since 2008, and the company has been involved with LVI since April 2018. Julie’s passion for this field stems from a personal connection, as several of her family members have macular degeneration – an eye condition resulting in central vision loss. Inspired by her father's involvement with the Lions Club and her early childhood experiences helping at the Rehabilitation Center for the Blind, she is committed to supporting those who strive to remain independent. A fun fact about Julie is that both of her parents are from London, England!

Magnifiers & More
Magnifiers & More, established in 2002, is led by President Deborah Kogler, CFO Jeffrey, and Low Vision Consultant Peggy Rhodes. Deborah's journey in the eyecare industry, as well as her association with LVI, began in 1980. Her involvement in the field was driven by her grandmother's battle with macular degeneration – an eye condition resulting in central vision loss. This experience inspired her to create a company dedicated to assisting those with low vision. Deborah's commitment to her work is encapsulated in her favorite Helen Keller quote: "Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." A fun fact about Magnifiers & More is their incredibly loyal CFO, Jeffrey, is trained as a service dog. He serves as the Canine Fun Officer and frequently earns the "Pawriffic Employee of the Month."
