What role do CVIs play when seeking support for sight loss?

A Certificate of Visual Impairment (CVI) can play an important role in ensuring people with sight loss receive the support they need. It can open up access to practical, financial, and emotional support, while also providing data to improve eye health services across the UK.

Professor Omar Mahroo joins our monthly webinar to discuss the current process of certifying as visually impaired, the challenges faced by patients and clinicians, and how the system is evolving. Drawing on his latest research, Professor Mahroo will explore how improvements to the certification process could make it more accessible, efficient and beneficial for everyone.
