Scottish War Blinded

About

Sight Scotland Veterans, formerly known as Scottish War Blinded, provides support to armed forces veterans affected by sight loss in Scotland to help them regain confidence, restore their independence and make new connections. The vast majority of veterans we support currently lost their sight after their time in service due to old age and conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration. Only a very small number of veterans lost their sight during active service. We continually evolve our approach to reach every veteran in need by developing skills and resources for independent living, supporting individual needs, involving veterans with sight loss in shaping our services, campaigning for equal rights, funding visual impairment research, and innovating our services to meet changing needs.
