This February, we're shining a light on Low Vision Awareness Month: a time to honour the resilience of those who navigate the world with vision that can't be fully corrected with glasses, contacts, or surgery. 💙
Low vision affects millions worldwide, often caused by conditions like age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, or retinitis pigmentosa. Imagine seeing the world through a clouded window, or having your central vision fade into shadows while trying to read your grandchild's birthday card. For many, these aren't just challenges; they're daily realities that require courage, adaptation, and support. 🫴🏽
But here's the beautiful part: with the right tools, resources, and compassionate care, people with low vision continue to live full, vibrant lives. They learn new ways to cook their favourite meals, stay connected with loved ones, and pursue their passions. This month, let's celebrate their strength and commit to creating a world where everyone has access to the vision care and support they deserve. Because clear sight isn't just about what we see, it's about how we show up for one another. 💙👁️
