Eye care
We provide life changing support and champion better eye care for people who have learning disabilities or who are autistic, many of whom have sight loss.
People with learning disabilities are 10 times more likely to have serious sight problems. Given there are more than one million people with learning disabilities in the UK, it's really important we keep on fighting for their right to good eye care. Read more about our eye care research.
