Our ECLOs (Eye Care Liaison Officers) provide immediate, vital assistance in eye clinics, and our Helpline provides fast support and guidance reassurance whenever it’s needed most. When Jenny was first told she was losing her sight, she was in shock. Not knowing where to turn, or what the future held, she left the clinic without the support she desperately needed.

Now, as an ECLO herself, Jenny sees how important it is to have someone by your side following a diagnosis. ECLOs are stationed in eye care clinics across the country ready to guide people through the difficult first steps of sight loss with emotional and practical advice.

Thousands of people with sight loss are facing dangerous situations every day. Last year, in over a quarter of local councils across England, people had been waiting for a vision rehabilitation assessment and subsequent support for more than 12 months. With people left to go at it alone, accidents are waiting to happen. They are risking physical injuries both at home and on their travels.

But with your support, our Living Well with Sight Loss courses could help someone get vital advice that prevents a near-miss. They provide the opportunity to meet others, share experiences, increase independence, boost confidence and get access to practical advice, information and resources.

Help us bring life-changing support closer to more people diagnosed with sight loss by making a one-off donation or setting up a monthly gift. You can also commemorate the life of a loved one by making a donation in their memory.
