IRIS is a local charity established by local visually impaired people dedicated to achieve Independence and Rehabilitation for those with Impaired Sight. Sight loss can be challenging, and people will deal with it in many different ways. Our approach at IRIS is to understand this, to reflect this in our person-centred approach, and to work with you so that you can face the future with some confidence.

IRIS provides:

• Access to low vision services for those with enduring sight loss

• Aids and equipment to promote independent living
• Social and fun activities for people with sight loss
• Transcription services into large print, audio and braille
• Vision awareness training provided free to local schools
• General advice and information on eye health and local services.

Stargardt’s disease is an inherited disorder of the retina — the tissue at the back of the eye that senses light. The disease typically causes vision loss during childhood or adolescence, although in some forms, vision loss may not be noticed until later in adulthood.

Stargardt’s Connected is a support community for those seeking more information and sharing experiences :

At our last @StargardtC international zoom, 3 people with #Stargardt set up an international WhatsApp group for people with Stargardt, families and friends where you can share ideas, get support, chat to others, cry, laugh and inspire each other. Direct Message us to join.
