Sight loss is an increasing reality for many, and there are currently over 2 million people in the UK living with sight loss. An ageing population means the number of people likely to suffer from common eye conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic eye disease is expected to rise rapidly over the next 15 years.In the UK, 79% of people over the age of 64 live with sight loss - beyond the immediate trauma, the experience of sight loss can be isolating and costly, for individuals, as well as their family members and carers.
