We provide support that empowers veterans affected by sight loss in Scotland.
We do this because veterans with sight loss deserve the opportunity to lead fulfilling lives.
Get support
Do you have a connection with an ex-service person with sight loss?
Whether they’re a relative, friend, service user or patient, we’re here to help.
If you’re a veteran of the services yourself, we’d love to hear from you.
However sight loss impacts you, we can be there for you. Answer some quick questions on behalf of the veteran, or yourself, and we can get started on building a positive future after sight loss.
