| Annotation | This paper illustrates growing co-operation and joint work between ophthalmologists, optometrists, social service staff, and voluntary organisations, which enables people losing their sight to get assistance when they most need it. It gives examples of good practice in provision of community services. A statistical supplement estimates numbers of visually impaired people in each local authority area. |
