One problem or several connected difficulties?
The Everyday Sight-Loss Impact Check uses ten short questions and provides a suggested next step. Your result and recommended next step are sent by email only. It is not a diagnosis or eligibility test.
Everyday signs that support may help
Does this sound familiar?
Sight loss can change ordinary routines in ways other people do not always see.
Private routines take more effort
Medication, clothing, grooming and identifying products have become harder to manage.
Important details are being missed
Letters, labels, screens, controls and forms are difficult to read or access.
Lighting and layout are working against you
Glare, steps, clutter and low contrast make moving around less predictable.
You are unsure which cane does what
Symbol, guide, long and support canes have different purposes, but product information is often unclear.
People care, but are unsure how to help
Everyone has suggestions, yet there is no agreed plan based on your priorities.
What useful support should provide
Less guesswork. More confidence about what to do next.
Understand
which difficulties need attention first.
Adapt
tasks, environments and routines around your needs.
Explain
your priorities clearly to family and professionals.
Act
from one written plan instead of scattered advice.
Choose the right level of support
Start free, then match the support to the problem
Begin with the impact check to understand what kind of support may be most useful. One focused question may suit a clearly defined issue, while several connected difficulties may benefit from a fuller assessment. Membership provides ongoing access when you want continued guidance.

Pay for an assessmentBroader scope
Broader or more complex assessment
Quoted individually when needs extend beyond three priority areas, require extra professional time, involve other people or services, or may need agreed in-person input. “Complex” describes the work required, not the person.
Quoted to scope
Request a quoteOur value promise: if we do not believe a service can add meaningful value, we will tell you. We do not expect you to pay for support that is unsuitable or simply repeats generic information.
A different approach
It is not about trying harder. It is about finding the right approach.
Sight loss affects people differently. Buying random equipment or collecting generic tips can create more confusion.
We begin with what you used to do, what is difficult now, what matters most and what adjustments are already in place. That gives the work a real-life starting point.
For several related difficulties
Standard remote assessment & recommendations
A structured Senior Vision Rehabilitation Specialist assessment for UK-based adults whose sight loss is affecting several related parts of everyday life. Assessments are delivered in English by telephone or video call. Vision rehabilitation is non-medical support; it does not diagnose eye conditions or replace medical advice.
Standard remote service
Assessment & Recommendations
£350
Complete a short questionnaire, attend a 60 to 75 minute telephone or video assessment and receive detailed written recommendations for up to three agreed priority areas.
- About five minutes of pre-assessment questions
- Telephone or video assessment with a qualified Senior VRS
- Up to three connected priority areas
- Techniques, equipment, technology and environmental changes to consider
- Tailored recommendations, recommended next steps and relevant signposting
Choosing telephone or video: a telephone assessment may be suitable when the challenges can be understood through discussion. A video call is preferable, and may be required, when the VRS needs to understand the environment, see equipment or observe how a task is approached. Suitability is confirmed before payment.
What happens
From the problem to a usable plan
Tell us what is happening
Explore daily living, personal care, communication, technology, lighting, home safety, social life, confidence and support.
Agree the priorities
Focus on the challenges that matter most to you rather than treating everything as equally urgent.
Explore practical solutions
Consider techniques, equipment, technology, environmental changes, family guidance, recommended next steps and relevant organisations that may offer further support.
Receive written recommendations
Leave with clear recommendations, boundaries and next steps you can refer back to.
Several connected kitchen difficulties
A person needs help to prepare food, identify ingredients and appliance controls, and pour hot drinks more safely. These are connected daily-living priorities that can reasonably be explored together during one remote assessment.
Service: £350, with detailed recommendations for up to three agreed priority areas.
Difficulties across several areas of life
Sight loss is affecting cooking, medication, personal care, moving around, falls risk and the support provided by other people. The issues interact and may require more professional time, additional signposting or agreed in-person input.
Service: individually quoted after the scope is understood. “Broader” describes the work required, not the person.
Right-service promise: before payment, we confirm whether the standard remote assessment is likely to provide meaningful value. If the situation requires a different service or hands-on support that we cannot provide, we will explain this clearly. We would not expect you to pay for a service that is unlikely to meet your needs.
Experience in practice
What specialist problem-solving can look like
These anonymised examples come from our founder’s professional vision-rehabilitation practice. They show the thinking and outcomes behind the work without presenting invented testimonials.
Safer food and drink preparation
A person struggling with kitchen tasks explored sequencing, contrast and safer techniques alongside equipment such as a talking microwave and liquid-level indicator.
Result: recommendations connected directly to the person’s routine, not a generic equipment list.
Making everyday items easier to identify
NFC labels used with an iPhone, clearer storage and task-specific methods helped a person identify jars and manage cooking more confidently.
Result: technology and practical technique worked together around the person’s existing skills.
Understanding four different cane types
The person’s intended use was clarified before comparing a symbol/simple cane, guide cane, long cane and support cane or white walking stick.
Result: clearer cane identification and honest signposting towards any required outdoor-mobility assessment or training.
See what to expect
A question should be specific enough to answer usefully
For example: “I keep mixing up similar food tins and jars. What practical changes could help me identify them independently?” The response would explain suitable techniques, accessible labelling options, safety limits and the next step.
Questions before you enquire
What each level of support can do
How is the remote assessment delivered?
The current service is for UK-based adults and is delivered in English by telephone or video call. Video is better when the VRS needs to understand your environment, see equipment or observe how a task is approached. We will confirm the suitable format before payment.
Do I need a diagnosis or professional referral?
You can enquire directly. We will ask for relevant information, decide whether the assessment is suitable and explain any limitations before you proceed.
Will you only recommend equipment?
No. Equipment may help, but techniques, organisation, lighting, contrast, technology, family support, recommended next steps and signposting to relevant services or organisations can be just as important. Signposting does not mean that Sensory Visionaries will make a referral on your behalf.
Is this ongoing practical rehabilitation?
The core service is an assessment and written recommendations. Any additional support is discussed separately and only where appropriate.
Do you provide outdoor-mobility or route training?
No. We can explain the four main cane types and help identify the likely purpose of a cane, but we do not provide outdoor-mobility, route-specific or hands-on long-cane training. Where this is needed, we recommend an appropriate local qualified professional.
