Well it looks like we will be wearing face masks for the foreseeable in the UK.
If you are partially sighted and are having difficulty with wearing face masks. Your can buy a lanyard and card from the hidden disabilities website.
I have written about the Sunflower Lanyard hidden disabilities Scheme before. You can wear a lanyard or badge so people are aware of your hidden disability.

The UK government website also has stuff to download for free for exemption from the masks.
I know that losing your central vision, and needing to use more of your peripheral vision, the masks do block out some of the view we need to get around safely.
Especially now the sunglasses are on and they steam up all the time. This maybe helpful for some of us.
I will still be wearing my mask until it becomes too difficult.
But at least if you are finding difficulties there is a way to go about your day without worrying and making life more difficult for yourself.
These aren’t just for people with sight loss either.
