Fully fund specialist glasses for visually impaired children

Fully fund specialist glasses for visually impaired children — 1,667 signatures. Status: open.

Petition background

We call on the Government to fully fund clinically necessary specialist glasses and tinted lenses for all visually impaired children through the NHS.

Additional details

We call on the Government to require the NHS to fully fund specialist glasses, tinted lenses, and visual aids for visually impaired children, including those without a standard prescription. Current NHS vouchers often fail to cover the true cost, forcing families to pay for essential medical aids. This creates a postcode lottery where children’s access to vital visual support depends on where they live and what their family can afford.
