Services or organisations that provide special magnifiers
Seescape offers support to all residents of Fife with a visual impairment and it is their mission to improve the lives of all blind and partially sighted people living in Fife. Although referrals often come from eye clinics, but their services are available to all residents and their families and friends.
Your GP can refer you to a Consultant Ophthalmologist who can offer an appointment at the low vision clinic if this is needed. At the clinic you can get advice and equipment, such as a magnifier to help with reading small print.
A Fife Rehabilitation Officer can advise on how to make the best use of remaining vision using lighting, magnification and colour contrast. They do not sell or provide equipment but you can try out magnifiers and other equipment.
Fife Sensory Impairment Centre can also supply information about local and national suppliers of the equipment. If you would prefer to make your own arrangements you can contact Fife Sensory Impairment Centre and arrange an appointment.
