The Eyes Have It: Experiencing vision loss with virtual reality

At the UK Ophthalmology Congress 2023, I donned a headset and was transported to experience different types of loss of vision and visual field defects. This is part of TheEyesHaveIt campaign to raise awareness of visual impairment A Call to Action: This is part of a campaign to take action and address the need for proper care and support for individuals experiencing sight loss. The campaign aims to emphasize that sight loss is not an inevitable outcome and that taking action is crucial to ensure people receive the necessary care at the right time. It calls on The Department of Health and Social Care and NHS England to collaborate in developing and implementing a national strategy for eye care. #shorts #virtualreality #ophthalmology
