Florida Vision Technology is Celebrating 13 Years in South Florida
Fort Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) September 07, 2016 -- Florida Vision Technology (formerly Florida Reading and Vision Technology), a leading provider of assistive technology for the visually impaired and blind, is celebrating their 13th anniversary. With over 23 years of experience, Lesa Kretschmer, founder and CEO, continues to champion efforts to enhance the quality of life for the visually impaired though community involvement and personal dedication.
“Because of our growth, and the new technologies available today, I wanted to refresh our branding to reflect the company’s evolution. Our new name is Florida Vision Technology, or abbreviated as FVT,” adds Kretschmer.
Building the company from the ground up, Florida Vision Technology opened their flagship store in Fort Lauderdale in 2003 and formed an alliance with Lighthouse of Broward in 2008.
“Connecting with our community is at the core of our business,” states Kretschmer, “and what better way to do that then to have a physical store where our consumers can come in, experience our products, and change their lives.”
“Our mission is to improve quality of life and independence with the right assistive technology,” states Kretschmer. Florida Vision Technology is a provider of cutting-edge assistive technology, such as the world's 1st Google-certified Braille tablet, BrailleNote Touch, and OrCam’s MyEye device which reads text on-the-go and interprets objects in the wearer’s environment just by pointing. The MyEye device is making a big impression. The Huffington Post just featured a full article showcasing the new OrCam product.
