For many people adjusting to changes in vision due to a condition like macular degeneration, it’s often the everyday impacts which are felt the most. The clinical side may be managed well by your eye care professional, but when daily routines begin to be affected, sometimes the way forward isn’t clear.

SeeWay provides free, national support to find your next steps. Whether it’s tips for making the most of technology and residual vision in day-to-day life or talking through the emotional impacts of these changes with a mental health professional, SeeWay links you to support that’s right for you.

If you are living with some vision loss, support is here and deserved. Simply visit www.seeway.com.au or give us a call on 1800 733 929 to find out more.

Vivid Sydney's 2026 Accessibility Itinerary

Vivid can be a crowded and highly visual experience, which can make for a challenge to navigate with low vision. But it's also a vibrant showcase of culture and entertainment, and the event advertises a range of accessibility features.
Here are some of the highlights of Vivid’s accessibility itinerary:

1. Public transport services and traffic conditions will change – plan your route ahead.
2. Locate accessible viewing areas for different exhibitions.
3. Go beyond the lights and check out the music performances, professional speakers, and dining experiences – many of which are being held during the day for the first time.
4. Advocate for yourself – don’t hesitate to reach out to staff for additional support if you need it.

Years ago, Harry was diagnosed with age-related macular degeneration. Although treatment slowed changes to his vision, it also prompted him to start thinking ahead. "When I was 60, I still felt 40 in my brain,’ Harry said. ‘But when something big affects you, like your vision, you realise you could be vulnerable, and you’ve actually got to do something about it.’"

For Harry, planning ahead and learning about support options helped him feel more in control of the future.

Read Harry’s story in his own words at www.seeway.com.au/owning-my-future-with-macular-degeneration, or call 1800 SEE WAY (733 929) to find out how we can support you navigating changes in your vision.

This ANZAC Day, we honour those who have served our nation, and the families and loved ones who have supported them along the way.

Within the SeeWay community, many of you may be veterans, or care deeply for someone who is. For some veterans, vision loss may be part of your journey, whether from service or from time. With vision loss can come the emotional weight of change and adjustment. Support for your mental wellbeing is not only appropriate, but deeply deserved.

SeeWay is free and here to support any Australian with some vision loss and their loved ones.

When receiving a diagnosis like macular degeneration or glaucoma, the next steps forward might not always be clear. Your eye care professional may advise you on options for managing your condition, but adjusting to low vision is about more than the clinical side, it’s a personal journey of lifestyle and emotional adaption that happens every day.

For SeeWay Client Suzi, it was difficult to know where to start. Friends and family would offer their help, but she didn’t have an answer for them. “I didn’t know what I needed,” said Suzi.

With time, Suzi found the most valuable support for her was finding new ways to keep doing things herself. By learning new digital skills to keep doing what mattered most to her, Suzi stayed connected to her friends and family, making a huge difference to her everyday life and sense of self.

Every journey with low vision looks different, but SeeWay is a place to begin. If you’ve been diagnosed with a low vision eye condition, SeeWay supports you to keep doing what matters most to you.
