Why support Fight for Sight and Vision Foundation?
Every six minutes someone in the UK is told they are losing their sight – that’s life-changing news that is dealt out 240 times each day.
- Sight loss in the UK is on the rise at a time of spiralling living costs, when health and social care services are struggling with demand.
- The amount of public money currently spent on the problem is nowhere near adequate –only 1.5% of UK medical research is invested into finding new ways to prevent, diagnose or treat sight loss. This equates to just £9.60 for each person whose life has been turned on its head by sight loss.
- If you’re a blind adult of working age in the UK, there is only a 1 in 4 chance that you’re working, and so visually impaired people can face the financial, social and mental impact of unemployment alongside their disability
