Fight For Sight Report; England's First Blind Musical Therapist


Listen Later

The government is being urged to double its spending on research into eye disease. Fight for Sight, the charity which campaigns for the ending of preventable sight loss, argues that visual impairment is costing the country billions of pounds and that more than half the two million cases of visual impairment in the UK today are preventable. The Chief Executive of Fight for Sight, Sherine Krause, joins us.

PRESENTER: Peter White
PRODUCER: Mike Young
