Hi Charles, I know, but I can see their rationality to a point. The fact of the matter is most people world wide who are blind and low vision are over the age of 50. So that much make sense. However, as Dark has stated many times the majority of their funds are gotten through wills and charitable donations so they play to the group whom they are most likely to get money from. So as far as the RNIB is concerned anyone below 50 just isn't worth their time unless they are willing to put up a lot of money to get noticed.
