When 86-year-old Daphne connected with Vision Australia, she finally found the right solutions for her deteriorating vision, and she couldn’t be happier.

Daphne’s low vision is the result of age-related macular degeneration and Charles Bonnet syndrome. After seeking support from several different organisations, Daphne was delighted by the excellent advice and compassionate support she received from Vision Australia.

"This was the only organisation that supplied me with correct information about my condition after learning about my symptoms. It’s given me great peace of mind."

Daphne has received new aids which have greatly improved her engagement in at home tasks and found new friends through Telelink social groups and the Quality Living Group.

"I have one [a magnifier] right beside me on the table, it’s great! I have a smaller one as well on the other side of me and a little one I can take with me in my purse. I’ve been able to get life back on track and learn how to manage my condition."

Thanks to your help, Daphne’s life has changed for the better.
