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.
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.

Frances's story - "I was sponsored for a place on the 'Finding your feet' course by my rehabilitation worker. I can truthfully say that it was the most amazing, incredible, supportive, beneficial four days of my life. I cannot praise the course or its facilitators highly enough. On the course, we learnt to accept that, yes, we were registered blind but it did not mean our life had ended. We learnt that it was a new beginning".
