@berkshirevision.bsky.socialAt 90, Norah has shown us that life's opportunities don't come with an age limit Last week, 90-year-old Norah, who has sight and hearing loss, went bowling for the very first time!! A wonderful reminder that new experiences and fun have no age limit.
@berkshirevision.bsky.socialWhen Mark's life was turned upside down following a serious accident, Cara and our Sight Loss Support team were there every step of the way.
Today, Mark is settled in his new home and exploring employment opportunities.

@berkshirevision.bsky.socialAdopting healthy lifestyle habits helps keep your eyes and vision healthy. Protect your eyes
from sun damage when the UV index rises to 3 or more, even on cloudy days.
@berkshirevision.bsky.socialDid you know that Dry eye affects one in three of us?
Age, screen use, #menopause & contact lens use can all increase your risk.
Speak to the team at your local optical practice for eye care advice and information about managing and treating #DryEye.

@berkshirevision.bsky.socialFor children and young people who are #Blind or #VisuallyImpaired getting on a bike isn't always straightforward.
But over the summer we've made sure that cycling is accessible. Along with @NewburyVelo, we have enjoyed riding tandems and specially adapted bikes.
@berkshirevision.bsky.socialOur West Berks West group had a fantastic time at their social group this month. They enjoyed indoor games and freshly cooked fish and chips.
