Vision Loss Family Support Session

Have you or a family member experienced vision loss recently? Do you want to take a proactive approach to adapting to your changing vision?

The RSB's Low Vision Centre offers Vision Loss Family Support sessions to:

  • learn about Macular Degeneration and other eye conditions
  • develop your understanding of how your vision functions and how to make the most of it
  • listen to peer supporters who have experienced vision loss and learn how they coped in the early stages
  • gain knowledge of RSB’s extensive range of services

These evening sessions provide an opportunity for family and friends to gain a better understanding of the impact that vision loss can have and how to help.

During these sessions you will meet with RSB Low Vision Centre staff and tour the Low Vision Centre and Adaptive Technology Centre. Speakers will include Trevor Frost (RSB Community Educator) and Mandy Wilson (LVC Optometrist).

Light refreshments are provided and onsite parking is available.

Dates for the next Vision Loss Family Support session will be available soon! For more information, or to register your interest in attending a session, please contact the Low Vision Centre on 8232 4777.
