Referral to Low Vision Clinic

When I was on my Sight Loss Course, there were lots of magnifiers for us to look at.

From credit card sized ones. To bigger ones with more functions.

I learnt that the local sight aid charity (that I was with) that runs these sight courses and get togethers, can refer you to the low vision clinic for an assessment.

They can give you things such as magnifiers and canes to help you manage getting around and being able to cope with life being partially sighted a little bit easier.

Obviously I will be assessed to see what would help.

The lady that ran the course I’ve just been on is kindly referring me and is getting me some bump dots, so I can stop quessing what number the oven should be on. Stop washing my hair in conditioner, body wash, foot cream… Yep… Foot cream.

I can stick them little bumpy dot stickers on anything I need to.

On my make up,
When you’re putting red or purple lip liner on your eyes instead of popping eyeliner on. It’s annoying, then funny because your eyes look immediately sore due to the colour. Hard to get off though.

On my foundation bottles, I’ve put coloured nail varnish on the lid to show me which colour to use. I have 2. One for when I have false tan on, so it’s darker. I can pop some on there, so I know the difference.

So this doesn’t happen, and it has.
