Graham's Story
Graham, 85, has lived with progressive sight loss throughout his life. But when he suddenly lost his central vision two years ago, everyday independence became much harder.
After being registered as severely sight-impaired, Graham was referred to Berkshire Vision. That referral became a turning point.
“One of the best things that happened was that a real person came to my home, sat down, and explained what help was out there. They didn’t just talk at me, they listened. That really mattered.”
