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.
DVLA to implement mandatory eye tests for all drivers & sight reporting
DVLA to implement mandatory eye tests for drivers for all ages. We believe that any vision impairment such as short or long sightedness should be something which drivers are mandated to report, just like other health conditions which may affect their vision.
Require schools to teach how to support vision impaired & disabled people
Implement high levels of education within the national curriculum about different disabilities, their impact and how to support people with these impairments.
