Sight loss support
We understand that losing your sight can be a worrying time, but we want to reassure you we are here to help. Whether you are just coming to terms with a new diagnosis or have lived with sight loss all your life, our team is here to support you.
Emotional Support
We understand the devastating impact sight loss can have. That’s why we’re there every step of the way offering emotional support.
Eye Care Support
Finding out that your sight is deteriorating can be a daunting and upsetting time.
Employment Support
If you are of working age, losing your sight does not have to mean losing your job. Employers have a legal obligation to provide reasonable adjustments to support you in the workplace.
Eye Health
Did you know at least 50% of sight loss could be avoided if we all had regular eye tests?
Low Vision
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.
