Scotland: Sight Scotland Veterans

We've been around since 1915, and we’re here to offer support across Scotland to veterans of the Armed Forces who need support to adapt to sight loss.

Adapting to and learning to live with sight loss can be bewildering, and it can be challenging to know who to turn to in order to get the answers you need. Our team have got the answers. And if they don't, they know where to find them.

Don't lose sense of who you are because of changes to your sight.
Our team provides information and support that will help you stay connected to the things that matter to you and support your loved ones. We’re here to help you thrive.
