Do you or a family member have difficulty seeing?

🚚 Kent Association for the Blind’s mobile sight centre, Iris, will be at the Folkestone Eye Centre, Unit 21D Basepoint, Folkestone, CT19 4RH on Friday 27th March from 10am to 3pm.

👓 The team will be happy to advise on any concerns you may have about your vision, offer support if you are living with sight loss and give tips on good eye health.

🔍🖥️ The Sight Centre also carries a selection of day-to-day living equipment and assistive technology to support with independent living.

✅ No booking required.

📨For further information email iris@kab.org.uk.

🚗📣 Please note: If you park your vehicle within the Basepoint complex car park, a small parking fee does apply. The first hour is free, however, if you do stay longer than this you will need to pay.

Parking charges also apply to disabled badge holders. Apologies, but this is a private car park that is not affiliated with Folkestone Eye Centre or the NHS.

We advise that you park in the adjacent road, if you can. The adjacent road is free all day, unlimited hours.

Thank you!
