I need to register as having a sensory impairment

Young man having sight testWe keep a register of people with a visual or hearing impairment.

Registering with a visual impairment

If someone has a significant eye condition they can attend an Ophthalmology Clinic.

A Consultant Ophthalmologist will decide if someone is eligible to be registered as visually impaired based on visual acuity and field of vision.

Registration is voluntary, so with your agreement they will then complete the Certificate of Vision Impairment (CVI).

Registering with a hearing impairment

There are three levels of registration, either as:

  • Deaf
  • Deaf with speech
  • Hard of hearing

You can provide your audiogram to us and we will ask you if you would like to register and arrange an assessment of your needs.
