Retina UK's Sight Loss Survey; CSUN Assistive Technology Conference
Charity Retina UK are seeking feedback from people with inherited sight loss conditions, to learn how they can best support the community and to feed into medical research.
The charity Retina UK are seeking feedback from people with inherited sight loss conditions to learn how they can best support this community and feed into medical research. The charity primarily supports people who are living with genetic conditions, often with a progressive decline in sight. Some of these conditions are well known, such as Retinitis Pigmentosa, Usher Syndrome and Stargardt Disease and others are more rare, such as Leber congenital amaurosis.
To participate in Retina UK's Sight Loss Survey, you can call their Helpline: 01280 821334. Or you can complete the survey online: surveymonkey.com/r/SightLossSurvey2025. The link to the survey can also be found on the Retina UK website.
The CSUN Assistive Technology Conference is an annual showcase of the latest developments in assistive technology. The ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ's Senior North America Correspondent, Gary O'Donoghue and Emma Tracey, presenter of the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ's disability and mental health podcast Access All, were there and they provide In Touch with an overview of the latest bits of tech that piqued their interest.
