Cheryl’s fight to remain independent

Real stories

When Cheryl lost her sight, the biggest challenge was also losing her independence. She said of her experience: “The biggest impact was the day I had to hand in my driver’s licence”.  

But she decided to be positive and proactive, and reached out to Vision Australia for support. Something that she would recommend anyone with a similar experience to do.

Low vision can affect people of all ages and can have an impact on many aspects of a person's life. It may cause problems with recognising faces, reading, using your devices or seeing road signs. 

If your loved one is experiencing low vision, you can submit a family enquiry or call Vision Australia on 1300 84 74 66. Please ask your loved one's permission before contacting us.
