About us
Since we began as the Royal School for the Blind in 1799, SeeAbility has held a unique role. We are the only charity in the UK — and possibly globally — that focuses on the strong link between sight loss and learning disability.
Our research shows that people with a learning disability are ten times more likely to experience sight loss. This makes eye care a priority for us.
