Living with sight loss

We work to enable people with sight problems to live their daily lives independently.

Call our Helpline on 0303 123 9999 for information about sight loss and how RNIB can help you.

Coming to terms with having a sight problem can be tough. Dealing with the emotional and practical impact of changes to your sight can be overwhelming. Our guide to coping with sight loss contains information and links to sources of help.

As well as selling a wide variety of products through our Online Shop, RNIB produces a number of magazines for blind and partially sighted people, including Vision magazine, our award-winning membership magazine for people with sight problems.

If you have sight problems and need some assistance in your home, find out how to get help from a volunteer and what support they can offer.
