Adults with learning disabilities are 10 times more likely to have serious sight problems than other people, yet research shows that 50% of adults with learning disabilities haven’t had a sight test for at least two years.

Most will need extra support to recognise and report changes in their vision, and also to access the eye care services to which they are entitled. For this reason, we teamed up with disability and sight loss charity SeeAbility to launch a new resource, carefully designed to open up conversations, improve awareness and understanding, and support informed decision-making around eye health.
