Vision Rehabilitation Specialist Services

What to Expect:

If you require Vision Rehabilitation Specialist Services provided by Westmorland and Furness Council, support is available to help you maintain independence and safety in daily life.

Your appointment will begin with a detailed discussion about your individual circumstances. This is an important step in understanding how your vision impacts your daily life. We will talk about:

• The specific activities or tasks you are finding difficult.

• The support you currently have at home, work, or in your community.

• Your general health and any existing eye conditions.

This conversation helps us plan the most effective ways to support you and tailor the assessment to your needs.

Specialist Services include:

Long cane mobility training to support safe and confident travel

Braille training to develop reading and writing skills

Minor adaptation assessments, including lighting assessments, to improve accessibility within the home
