Blind Veterans UK
Blind Veterans UK helps vision-impaired ex-Servicemen and women to rebuild their lives after sight loss. We provide rehabilitation, training, practical advice and emotional support to veterans regardless of how or when they lost their sight. We’re here to help blind veterans regain their independence and live the life they choose. We also offer advice for carers to help them adjust to looking after someone with a vision impairment.
Our rehabilitation officers are specially trained to help veterans adjust to living with sight loss. Our care is tailored to your individual needs, so your rehabilitation programme will be based around what you need, and continually assessed during your time with us.
We take a holistic approach so will help with things like: making the most of your remaining vision; mobility training to get you out and about again; learning independent living skills; staying connected with loved ones. We also offer advice on how to improve your general health and emotional wellbeing including: general physical and mental health; mindfulness; sleep hygiene; healthy eating and therapeutic arts and crafts
We know how difficult it can be for spouses, partners and family members when someone loses their sight and so offer advice and support for carers to help them adjust to looking after someone with a vision impairment.
