About living with sight loss

Our guide about sight loss will help you to understand some of what a person with a sight problem is experiencing. Further information about common eye conditions and how people with sight problems do everyday things is also available.

If you are concerned about how to guide people with sight problems or would like visual awareness training, we can help.

We also provide statistics of the number of people in the UK with sight loss.

Help RNIB

We rely on people like you to support us. There are many ways that you can help us make a difference.

Our fundraising efforts are wide and varied. We rely on your gifts to raise over £52m to help blind and partially sighted people lead full and rewarding lives. For every gift of a pound, 88p goes directly to our services.

We also campaign on issues that matter to blind and partially sighted people. Find out how you can get involved.
