Time to look up Look Up?

Practitioners who provide eye care for patients with learning disabilities can now register their practice details on a new database added to the Look Up website, which can be accessed by patients or their carers.

Another new addition to the website, launched a year ago by SeeAbility in partnership with the RNIB, is a chat forum for optometrists, care staff and service users to exchange information about issues relating to eye care for people with learning disabilities.

The site also now features downloadable pre- and post-eye test forms to help optometrists evaluate how best to test the sight of individual patients as well as assessing the success of the eye test.
