Advice for People with Sight Loss
If you need to talk to someone about sight loss, we'll listen. We'll explore what living with sight loss means for you or the person you support, and talk through your concerns, finding solutions together.
Care
Sometimes sight loss can make it difficult to live independently - especially when combined with other disabilities and health needs. Sight Scotland is committed to providing extraordinary specialist care, every day.
Learning
We are the specialists that parents and our partners can trust to provide the best learning and education opportunities for children and young people who are blind or partially sighted.
Research
We are committed to preventing avoidable blindness and sight loss by funding research into cures and treatments. Our research will help change the lives of many people with sight loss.
Enterprise
At the Scottish Braille Press we've been producing accessible formats for over 125 years, providing people with sight loss with formats which enable equal access to the written word.
Information and Advice
Whether you're looking for guidance for yourself, or want to know more about how to support someone with sight loss or blindness, we are here to help.
