Specialist Eye Care for Individuals with Learning Disabilities

At Maudsley Opticians, we understand that people with learning disabilities are at a higher risk of vision problems, yet they often face barriers to accessing the right care. That’s why we provide specialist eye examinations, ensuring a comfortable, supportive, and fully tailored experience for those who need it most.

Why Specialist Eye Tests Are Important

• Higher Risk of Vision Problems – Individuals with learning disabilities are ten times more likely to have serious sight issues.

• Difficulties Communicating Vision Changes – Many struggle to express when they are experiencing vision problems, making regular eye checks essential.

• Impact on Daily Life – Undiagnosed vision issues can affect learning, independence, and overall well-being.

✔ Adapted Testing Methods – Using specialist techniques that do not require verbal responses or reading letters.
