Living well with glaucoma is about more than managing eye health; it's about having the right support to continue living safely, confidently, and independently.
In our next Live Q&A event, Shelley Pannier from Guide Dogs Victoria will explore the practical services and support available for people experiencing vision loss.
Topic: Living well with Glaucoma: Support services for independence and confidence
Date: Tuesday 18th August
Time: 07:00 PM AEST
Come along to learn how Orthoptic Low Vision services, Occupational Therapy, Assistive Technology, and Orientation and Mobility training can help people adapt to changes in vision and maintain independence. The session will also cover when and how support may be available through the NDIS, My Aged Care and Services Australia, to help better navigate Australia's support systems.
Whether you're looking for support for yourself, a family member or your patients, this discussion will highlight the resources and pathways that empower people with vision loss to continue doing the things that matter most.
