A vision for eye health

Do you want to improve the eye health of people in the UK? Can you play a part in eliminating avoidable sight loss? And do you believe in support, inclusion, participation and independence for people with sight loss? If the answer to any or all of these questions is yes, the rationale behind the UK Vision Strategy will not be lost on you.

Launched two years ago, the strategy brings together hundreds of diverse organisations, many of which were represented in Birmingham last week at the annual conference, Vision UK 2010. The event coincided with National Eye Health Week and saw the launch of a new patient's charter for eye care and sight loss services (see page 4).
