Beryl's Story
At 86-years-old, Beryl received a diagnosis that felt like a closing curtain; Macular Degeneration, a condition that causes loss of the detailed, central vision of the eyes. Fearful about what the future held for her, she found us at The Partially Sighted Society. "It’s opened out my life," she beams, her voice brimming with joy. Eight years after first coming to see us, she told us all about the impact that The Partially Sighted Society has had on her life.
"The Partially Sighted Society has had a great impact on my life, on more than one level. I come in here for physical examinations, I come in for advice on what implements and aids will help my sight loss and help my daily living. It’s all given with good humour and, more importantly, I’m amongst friends.
I met a wonderful group of people who were in a similar situation to myself and they’ve all turned out to be such delightful people. None of them feel sorry for themselves. We’re taught from the top that we’ve still got lots to offer, lots to do and that we need to enjoy life. I enjoy coming to the support groups and the team here have always got some new ideas to interest us. I can’t tell you the difference it’s made to me.
When I was diagnosed with sight loss, I could see my life closing in and I’ve come into this organisation and it’s reversed it, it’s opened out my life."
Beryl’s story is one of thousands we have come across over the many years we’ve been helping people. It has been our goal for all of that time to give people the tools to make the most of their remaining vision and enjoy life to it’s absolute fullest.
Thank you for your compassion and generosity.
