Wales General Ophthalmic Services (WGOS) 3: low vision services

The WGOS 3 scheme aims to help people with visual impairment to remain independent by providing low vision aids such as magnifiers, as well as education, onward referrals, and rehabilitation training. Prior to 2023-24, similar services were offered through Low Vision Service Wales.

Data is also included for certificates of vision impairment (CVI).
