UK Vision Strategy

Setting the direction for eye health and sight loss services.

The UK Vision Strategy is a ground-breaking VISION2020 UK initiative, led by RNIB, to develop a unified plan for action on all issues relating to sight loss and eye health, across the four countries of the UK.

Champions wanted: could you help?

The UK Vision Strategy is looking for 10 local champions around the country. You could play a vital role in supporting local initiatives, providing advice and ideas, and being a general reference point for change and innovation.

About the Strategy

Over 650 organisations and individuals have played a role in developing the Strategy. This includes people with sight loss, users of eyecare services, eye health and social care professionals and statutory and voluntary organisations. The UK Governments have also given their support to the Strategy.

It is the first time that such a breadth of groups have come together to set the direction for eye health and sight loss services. Together we make a powerful force for change.

The UK Vision Strategy aims to:

• improve the eye health of the people of the UK
• eliminate avoidable sight loss and deliver excellent support to those with a sight problem
• enhance the inclusion, participation and independence of blind and partially sighted people.
