Visually impaired children and
young people across Wales have access to The Low Vision Scheme which provides low vision aids, free of
charge. There are 170 accredited high street
optometrists and
optician">dispensing opticians located across Wales who offer low vision aid
assessments free of charge. Under the scheme currently, only low tech low vision aids (such as optical magnifiers) are available.
