Partially Sighted Society

The Partially Sighted Society provides information, advice, training, magnifiers and electronic low vision aids and clear print material for anybody with a visual impairment to help them to make the best use of their remaining sight.

The Partially Sighted Society has been in existence for over 50 years. Our aim is to help people with sight loss make the best use of their remaining vision.

From our professionally equipped sight centre in Doncaster we provide a range of services to support anybody living with sight loss. These include:

• Free Low Vision Assessments. Our professional low vision assessment has access to the latest aids and equipment to help you continue to live life independently.
• Sight tests. We are a registered NHS Sight Test Centre and anyone can book an appointment with our part time Optometrist, who is as passionate about low vision as we are. We do not dispense spectacles, however, if new glasses are prescribed you can then take this to an optician of your choice. Our sight test clinic is ideal for those with learning disabilities or dementia. Our waiting area is never busy and we have supportive, caring staff.
• PSS Print. Our print room offers a unique range of bold-lined stationery, exercise books, diaries and calendars. Andre, our print room manager, understands the challenges of visual impairment and is on hand to advise. We also offer a bespoke print service and free Visual Impairment Assessment Packs with samples of all our printed material.
• Information and Support groups. Come and meet new people and learn new things at our variety of support and activity groups.
