According to figures obtained from the Local Optical Committee Support Unit (LOCSU), serious sight problems are 10 times more common among people with learning disabilities, yet due to the current optical service system many may have trouble accessing the service.
Tom Brake, MP for Carshalton and Wallington, was at the launch of a new service offering longer adapted tests to those with learning difficulties on November 26, at Wallington Opticians in Woodcote Road. Visit Wallington Opticians or call 020 8647 3644.
