The Low Vision Service provided by the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) is for adult patients who are struggling with daily living due to their vision. The patient does not have to be registered as sight-impaired.

The service offers:

• a rehabilitation service to help patients with everyday activities
• a specialised eye test service for adults with learning difficulties
• a domiciliary service for those who are housebound
• low-vision assessments or learning disability eye tests carried out in the patient's home or at the Low Vision Centre.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusions

Camden or Islington residents aged 18+, or those registered with a Camden or Islington GP who:

• has a sight problem after correction with standard glasses or contact lens (patient must have had an eyesight test or a diagnosis for their condition)
• is experiencing difficulties in their normal daily activities as a result of visual impairment (the perception of what constitutes a restriction in a person's everyday life will vary between individuals, therefore no strict criteria based on social/clinical impact have been set).
