Sight loss

Losing your sight can be challenging.

In Scotland there is estimated to be over 180,000 people living with significant sight loss with this number set to rise by 2030.

Sight loss can be caused by a variety of conditions such as macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetes and cataracts. Different eye conditions will result in different difficulties. Some people will not be able to read but can get about quite easily. Others will see everything as a blur. Few people actually see nothing at all.

As we depend on our vision to do many everyday tasks, sight loss can make these tasks harder. Acknowledging and coming to terms with sight loss can be upsetting and it is sometimes the emotional aspects of sight loss that are even more daunting than the practical aspects.
