Welcome to the world of Eye Matter, where we create connections that truly matter for people with visual impairment. Our mission is to entertain, educate and empower. Eye Matter has delivered over 200 Zoom events this year including book clubs, concerts, Zumba, creative writing, poetry and drama workshops. Our regular outings have included theatre trips, art galleries, sledging, zip wiring, sports days, comedy evenings, climbing the O2 and much more.
We appreciate there are times when support is needed in sight loss journeys and this is provided in our twice monthly ‘Surviving to Thriving’ Zoom grief programme (supported by our regular blog) and a twice a year in-person session.
Many of our facilitators are themselves visually impaired, enabling them to provide a more empathic service. Membership is completely free and allows access to a multitude of exciting opportunities both through Zoom and in-person.

One in five people will experience a sight loss diagnosis in their lifetime.
That’s why we want to better understand which improvements to post-diagnosis support should be prioritised and why.
That’s where you come in. If you’ve had a sight loss diagnosis in the last five years, are a friend or family member of someone who has, or are a professional working within the post-diagnosis space, have your say in our survey: bit.ly/4251Rt5
[Image description: A minimalistic graphic displays bold black text on a bright yellow background, stating: “Have your say on ideas to improve post-diagnostic support.” The words “Have your say” are highlighted in a black box. In the lower right corner, a black stick figure with raised arms and a smile adds an inviting tone to the message.]
