A company selling equipment to help blind and partially sighted people live independent lives. The team at top level being blind or vision impaired is intentional, as we feel we are best placed to meet the needs of the blind and vision impaired customers we strive to serve.. This also places us well to test any products we supply. If it doesn’t work for us, then we don’t sell it. It is no use us selling you some whizzy product that you will only pop in a cupboard and never use. We aim to find out what our customers need to improve everyday living and independence.

Panel members will include senior people from inside and outside the eye health and sight loss sector (including industry where appropriate). The panels will, via discussion and inquiry, set national strategic priorities and targets.
