Sight difficulties

If you are having sight problems book an appointment with your optician. If the optician identifies an eye problem that cannot be corrected by glasses, they will refer you to your GP for specialist opinion from an eye consultant.

We have produced a short guide full of advice, information and hints about how to go about every day living for people with a visual impairment.

The guide includes chapters on:

• equipment magnifiers and low vision aids
• education and employment
• travel and public transport
• health and fitness
• holidays
• housing
• money
• entertainment and leisure
• support services
