We're thrilled that FM @NicolaSturgeon is today officially launching our new names, Sight Scotland and @SightScotVets! [Picture of Nicola Sturgeon opening our Jenny’s Well Care home in 2018].
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said: “I am delighted to launch Sight Scotland and Sight Scotland Veterans as the charities set out their plans to provide support to more people living with visual impairment in the future. “The Scottish Government is taking action to ensure that people living with sight loss in Scotland can receive the treatment and care they need, our recent Programme for Government includes £3 million to fund community optometrists to support hospital patients with sight threatening conditions whose appointments were paused due to COVID-19 . “Early detection of eye problems is also vital and we are the only country in the UK to universally fund free eye examinations. “We look forward to continuing to work with Sight Scotland, Sight Scotland Veterans and other partners in the third sector to ensure that everyone in Scotland living with a visual impairment receives the very best support.”

While this NHS Eye Care Services will be provided by community optometrists it might not be in their own practices – some Health Boards have chosen to fund community optometrists to work on a sessional basis – for example in hospital satellite clinics. ➡️bit.ly/NHS-Rem

To help those with sight-threatening conditions we will accelerate the reform of NHS eye care services. Community optometrists will assess patients with chronic eye conditions as part of a new plan supported by @ScotGov's £3 million funding. More➡️bit.ly/Scot-Opt

Now hearing from @mssocietyscot about the high incidence in Scotland and the employment issues faced by those with the condition. We are losing skills and talents that could support our economy. Change is needed #Business is a solution
