As well as getting advice and chatting on websites, Facebook groups, and telephone support with people.
You can attend local sight loss support groups.
I’ve seen these advertised in doctors surgeries and hospital eye clinic notice boards. Be sure to have a look there.
The Macular Society has a list of groups. For Macula conditions specifically. You can find one in your local area, by entering your postcode in the search box on their website.
Obviously at the moment, they won’t be able to have them. But I don’t think it won’t be much longer till the groups open up again.
In the meantime. I do know that they have telephone support with some of the groups.
I used to attend one locally and hope to again after this virus has disappeared from us.
The group I attended was made up of varying eye conditions and severity. Different ages and circumstance. I found this groups poster in the hospital waiting room.
They have rang me to ask me how I’m doing now and again throughout the pandemic. Checking in with me.
I told them not to worry about me as I’m sure they had people who could either do with a chat or practical help in someway. I was fine.
