Welcome to Silver Lining Eyes.
I’m Jiska Chandrasena, a Vision Rehabilitation Therapist dedicated to helping people with vision impairment live with independence, confidence, and dignity.
Through personalized training and compassionate guidance, I support individuals and families in navigating everyday life, learning practical skills, and embracing new possibilities.
Jiska Chandrasena is a graduate of Chapman University, earning a Bachelor’s in Liberal Arts with an emphasis in Social Science and Psychology, and a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy. Currently attending San Francisco State University, training in orientation and mobility for the visually impaired community. Her professional certifications include training in childhood blindness prevention in educational settings and participation in the Ethical Cataract Pledge. She believes deeply in the power of education and coaching as a positive force for that can uplift- of all ages, socioeconomics, and cultural backgrounds.
Glaucoma is a disease of the optic nerve. Glaucoma can cause vision loss and blindness and it starts when the optic nerve, specifically optic fibers start to become damaged. An individual can start to lose their peripheral vision as a result of glaucoma.
Diabetic retinopathy is a condition in which diabetes begins to affect the blood vessels inside the retina. Blood vessels in the retina start to bleed into the gel like fluid that fills your eye, and this can result in an individual seeing dark spots, floaters, and cobweb like streaks.
Vision rehabilitation is about more than techniques — it’s about restoring confidence. I offer personalised plans that address mobility, reading and access to information, daily living skills, and selection/training in assistive devices. I work closely with clients, families, and other professionals to build skills that fit real life.
