Almost two million people in the UK are living with sight loss. This can range from difficulties reading a newspaper, driving and recognising a friend across the room to blindness that makes it difficult to cook, look after personal hygiene or leave the house without assistance.
In this section you will find
research and evidence about sight loss and social care, as well as information and guidance to help local authorities, their adult social services departments and
professionals working with older people provide high quality services that meet the needs of blind and partially sighted adults.
We also outline the many ways that
RNIB can help you to improve the support you provide to people with sight problems, through our services, products, training and information.
