When receiving a diagnosis like macular degeneration or glaucoma, the next steps forward might not always be clear. Your eye care professional may advise you on options for managing your condition, but adjusting to low vision is about more than the clinical side, it’s a personal journey of lifestyle and emotional adaption that happens every day.

For SeeWay Client Suzi, it was difficult to know where to start. Friends and family would offer their help, but she didn’t have an answer for them. “I didn’t know what I needed,” said Suzi.

With time, Suzi found the most valuable support for her was finding new ways to keep doing things herself. By learning new digital skills to keep doing what mattered most to her, Suzi stayed connected to her friends and family, making a huge difference to her everyday life and sense of self.

Every journey with low vision looks different, but SeeWay is a place to begin. If you’ve been diagnosed with a low vision eye condition, SeeWay supports you to keep doing what matters most to you.

Starting a new job or navigating changes at work can feel daunting for anyone. When you’re living with low vision, this can be amplified by uncertainty about how much to disclose, available support, and how to advocate for your needs with confidence and clarity.

SeeWay Client Bella has shared her some insights from her experience working with low vision in the workplace. Her words offer an honest look at the barriers that can arise, but also the adjustments that may truly help and the power of clear, respectful communication.

Across Australia, employers are searching for people who can think clearly under pressure, learn fast, adapt to change and bring fresh, practical thinking to complex problems. What many don’t realise is that these qualities are often inherent in candidates who live with low vision or blindness.

Navigating without vision or with low vision, environments that often aren’t designed with accessibility in mind requires planning, resilience, problem-solving and the ability to process large volumes of information quickly – all the skills workplaces value most.

Learn more about the untapped strengths of employees with low vision or blindness by reading our article at www.seeway.com.au/a-note-to-employers/.

Tips for staying connected this holiday season
For many people adjusting to changes in their vision, the holidays can bring a mix of joy, exhaustion, connection, or loneliness, and often all at once. Small things can help:

- Let people know what lighting or seating helps you feel comfortable. Most friends or family appreciate clear guidance.
- Make a simple list of the events that matter most to you and focus your energy there. It might be the local Christmas carols, a longer phone chat with a dear friend or making your favourite dish.
- Remember: connection can be a walk, a chat, or sharing a cup of tea, not just big gatherings.

[Image description: A woman sits in an armchair besides a Christmas tree. Text on a purple background reads "Stay connected this holiday season" with the SeeWay logo beside it.]

SeeWay is here to help with the planning, conversations or support to stay connected to whatever matters most to you. Visit www.seeway.com.au to learn more.
