No two vision impairments are the same—even with identical diagnoses like glaucoma or retinitis pigmentosa. Vision loss can affect different areas and change daily. Everyone’s experience is unique. #VisionAwareness #EyeHealth
Centered at the top in large orange text are the words "VISION MYTH OF THE DAY." Below is an orange outlined eye with a question mark inside the pupil. At the bottom right corner is the same orange logo with two profiles and circuitry inside the head, with the text "WISDOM 4 THE BLIND SHARING WISDOM FOR ALL." The image debunks a vision loss myth with an orange eye icon and the bold title "MYTH OF THE DAY." It states the myth that all people with the same eye condition lose vision the same way, then explains that vision loss varies due to factors like age, health, and progression. At the bottom is a logo of two orange heads and the text "WISDOM 4 THE BLIND" with the tagline "SHARING WISDOM FOR ALL." The background is white and the design is simple.

Yesterday, London @slcouncils.bsky.social delivered a #VisionAwareness session to Hillingdon Hospital volunteers.

Volunteers learned how to support blind & partially sighted patients and sighted guiding techniques.

A brilliant start to a new partnership to #MakeHealthAccessible 💙
Two male participants wearing sim-specs, one is trying to read medicine packaging, the other a hospital letter. Three female attendees sitting at the table in sim-specs. Two are trying to read hospital letters/prescriptions, the other is holding a medicine packet and trying to read what it says. Two male attendees during the sighted guiding session. One is wearing sim specs and being guided by the other, in a narrow corridor. During the sighted guided session, a volunteer is practising guiding someone to a chair. The lady she is working with is wearing sim specs, and sitting in a chair.

Many types of vision loss are invisible—you can’t tell just by looking. Respect the cane. Trust the guide dog. Believe the person.
Not all disabilities are visible.

Ever heard of visual snow?
It's a rare neurological condition where people constantly see static across their vision, even in complete darkness. It's not an eye problem, but a brain processing issue. Awareness matters, even for the rarest conditions.
