Learning Disability Week 2025: Making eye care more inclusive
To mark Learning Disability Week 2025, Primary Eyecare Services is celebrating the success of its Easy Eye Care Service, developed with SeeAbility, to improve access to eye care for people with learning disabilities. This collaborative service is now operational across several English regions, with significant year-on-year growth in both uptake and outcomes. In Greater Manchester alone, patient episodes have increased by over 140% in just one year. Feedback from patients and carers consistently underscores the value of longer, person-centred appointments, pre-visit adjustments, and easy-read reports.
