Finding out that your sight is deteriorating can be a daunting and upsetting time.Employment Support

We provide a specialist low vision service across the whole of Cornwall on behalf of the NHS.Registering Your Sight Loss
Every council must hold a register of people living in their area who are sight impaired (partially sighted) and severely sight impaired (blind).Welfare and Benefits Advice
If you’re visually impaired, there’s a range of benefits available to make life easier. We can advise you on what you may be entitled to and support you with applications for blue badges and TV licences. If we think you’re not receiving the benefits that you are entitled to, we can refer you for a benefits review with DIAL, a disability information and advice service run by DisAbility Cornwall.
