Hey Alan 👋
Healthier Eyes Closer to Your Home 👁
“With easier access to low vision assessments, sight changes can be spotted sooner and support adjusted quickly.” – Alan Evans, Optometrist, Maggs Optics, Haverfordwest.
If you’re living with reduced vision, knowing where to start can feel overwhelming.
Alan explains how opticians are helping people by providing low vision assessments either in the opticians or in your own home. These assessments help identify what support is needed and can be reviewed over time as eyesight changes.
A low vision assessment can help with:
🔹access to low vision aids such as magnifiers, specialist reading devices, tinted spectacles, specific task lighting and other similar aids to improve visibility.
🔹advice, sign posting and referral for further support
🔹certification of vision impairment
With assessments and equipment available free of charge, support is available to all who need it.
Local opticians are making low vision support easier to access, closer to home, and available when it’s needed.
If you or someone you know is struggling with their vision, your local optician can help.
