Where was the first low vision conference held?

The question tests knowledge of where the field first gathered to discuss low vision rehabilitation. San Francisco hosted the inaugural low vision conference, bringing together ophthalmologists, optometrists, educators, and rehabilitation specialists to share findings, discuss assessment approaches, and begin shaping early practices for helping people with low vision navigate daily life. That initial meeting helped catalyze the development of the low-vision rehabilitation field and laid groundwork for later orientation and mobility training standards. Other cities like New York, Seattle, or Kalamazoo have their own histories with vision care, but the first conference is tied to San Francisco.
