Urgent Eye Care in Wales and John Slade


Listen Later

Covid-19 has not stopped people needing eye appointments - and emergency help.

But what you can expect across the UK when it comes to a sudden loss of sight or a serious problem differs.
We speak to Sali Davis, Chief Executive of Optometry Wales about the surprising procedures which are available from high street optometrists - and why the picture near her is different to England.
And we remember a man who brought hours of fun to blind people who had previously been excluded - John Slade - who pioneered accessible board games after his own children struggled to play Ludo. His daughter Val tells us about a pioneer.
And we catch up with our panel of blind and visually impaired people adapting to lockdown. From the challenge of housework to the virtual pub, they tell us about their changed lives.
Presented by Peter White
Produced by Kev Core
