Sight loss changes things, but it doesn’t have to stop you living the life you want. Whether you’ve just noticed a change in your vision, received a diagnosis, or have been living with sight loss for years, you’ll find clear, practical information here — written to help you make confident choices about what comes next.
If you’d rather talk it through, we’re always happy to help.
Everyone’s experience of sight loss is different, and there’s no set order to work through. Start with whatever feels most relevant to you right now.
Learn about common causes of sight loss, including AMD, glaucoma, cataracts and diabetic retinopathy — what they are, and how they affect your vision.
A diagnosis can feel overwhelming. Find out what support is available from day one, including emotional support and the Eye Care Liaison Officer at the hospital.
Registering your sight loss can open the door to practical and financial support. Find out what registration means and how it works.
Supporting someone with sight loss? Your wellbeing matters too. Practical advice and resources for the people alongside.
Guides, videos and practical resources — from daily living tips to the latest sight loss technology, all in one place to explore at your own pace.
Sometimes reading about it isn’t enough. Our friendly team can talk things through with you and help you find the right support, in a way that feels right for you.
