Vision Aid Overseas

Vision Aid Overseas aims to transform access to quality eyecare in developing countries. Over 500 million people worldwide are unnecessarily visually impaired because they do not have spectacles. This is due to the significant lack of eyecare services available in low and middle income countries. For people affected the consequences can be disadvantage and disability. Our vision is a world in which everyone has access to eyecare and spectacles.

Vision Aid Overseas develops sustainable eyecare services that ensure an impact for our patients:

* We establish International Vision Centres where high quality spectacles can be manufactured and sold at an affordable price following a thorough eye examination.

* We train healthcare workers in practical eye testing and vision health skills that equips them to work as primary eyecare workers in their local communities.

* We utilize the expertise of UK optical professionals who develop outreach services in areas away from existing facilities and who undertake teaching programmes across the developing world.

Our work is focused on improving the lives of people who are marginalised by poor eyesight and motivated by our belief that good vision should be a right for all, not just those who can afford it.

West Of England School For Children With Little Or No Sight

The West of England School and College is a registered charity that is the leading regional centre for the education and care of blind and visually impaired children and young people, many of whom also have a range of additional disabilities. This includes young people from 5 ? 22 years old with cerebral palsy, hearing impairments, autistic spectrum disorders and physical disabilities. Each student who attends the West of England School and College is referred by his or her Local Authority or the Learning and Skills Council.

Parts of the service we offer do not receive any funding at all. Your generous support helps us to provide the best education and care for our visually impaired and blind students. Thank you.
