A Story for World Sight Day 2005

Brenda’s sight loss made her severely depressed…

She needed help with the things she used to do

We finally persuaded the GP to refer her to an eye hospital where the ophthalmologist announced….

“ we don’t operate on the mentally handicapped, it’s a waste of money”

We found another consultant, who operated willingly

Brenda’s depression lifted

“80% of all cases of blindness can be prevented or treated; the right to sight can and must be fulfilled” World Health Organisation

SeeAbility has launched the eye 2 eye Campaign to ensure that the sight of people with disabilities doesn’t continue to be neglected so that they can lead fulfilling lives. Change is in sight for many more people with disabilties across the UK. You can help us achieve it by sending this slide show to 5 people.
