Happy birthday RNIB

Since its inception some 150 years ago, the RNIB has become a major force, both in lobbying for change and in directly providing services for the very many people in the UK with a visual impairment. Some of the milestones in its long life are outlined in table 1.

The Low Vision Centre, Judd Street

I have had various dealings with the low vision centre at the Judd Street site in London since its opening in 2003, soon after the relocation of the RNIB headquarters from its older Great Portland Street location. From involvement in the initial conversations establishing links with undergraduate training at City University through to working as a visiting clinician, I have a great admiration for the services the centre has offered over the years.
