When I first lost my vision, I felt isolated. With the support of Guide Dogs, I regained my independence. I feel part of life again.
Every journey is different
Support tailored to you.
No two people experience vision loss in the same way. That’s why every program begins by understanding your goals, lifestyle and the support that’s important to you.
We support people living with a wide range of eye conditions and neurological vision changes, including (but not limited to):
- Age-related macular degeneration
- Glaucoma
- Cortical Vision Impairment (CVI)
- Ocular albinism
- Retinitis pigmentosa and other inherited eye conditions
- Vision changes following stroke or brain injury
Whether you need support for a short time or ongoing assistance as your needs change, we’re here to help.
