Fund free lens thinning and tints for people registered sight impaired
We believe the NHS optical voucher scheme fails severely sight impaired (SSI) people. Lens upgrades (thinning/tints) cost £175-£300, draining funds that could be used for other disability costs. We want the maximum voucher for all SSI people to cover essential, clinically prescribed features fully.
