submitted by Bloodedparadox
So last year I got prescription they didn't really help then a couple months later I ended up being diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa macula Edema and myopia recently I started becoming really light sensitive and I can't handle the sun it burns my eyes as well as causes me white outs just found out my prescription glasses that I got given in 2020 of may no longer works for my eyes I went to get an eye test today too for some form of prescription glasses to well prevent the sun from melting my eyes ( sadly nothing worked) the opticianist gave me a OCR scan after finding out nothing was working and told me my eyes have detoriatd further compared to last year I don't really have any money to keep on buying new prescriptions especially for more complex glasses

Contact your local council. They should have a contract with a local company or charity to prove O&M training as well as other support.

Depending on your location, there maybe local support listed in our wiki.

You could also try contacting the RNIB

Sorry to hear things are going down-hill.
It may well be time to get social services involved now. Contact the adult care services team at your local authority for an assessment. You will almost certainly qualify for PIP, and may additionally be entitled to a Direct Payment.

Just so you know, punctuation really would help a screen reader user read your post easier.


I hope you get the help you need.
