Eye clinic support
Have you been told that you’re losing your sight?
Finding out that your sight is deteriorating can be a daunting and upsetting time. Our Eye Clinic Liaison Officer, also known as an ECLO or a Sight Loss Advisor, can provide you with practical and emotional support to help you understand your diagnosis and come to terms with living with sight loss.
Our ECLO can provide:
- information about your eye condition
- support, if you are worried, confused or upset about your vision
- information on the process of becoming registered as blind or partially sighted and the benefits of being registered
- advice about daily living and low vision aids
- advice on where to find help on benefits and concessions
- links to local peer support and voluntary organisations
- advice about education, employment, housing and leisure
