Don't You See?
There are approximately 129,000 people in Great Britain on the blind register, but It is believed that at least twice that number have sufficiently impaired sight to qualify-that is are so blind as to be unable to perform any work for which eyesight is essential. What services are available for the visibly handicapped? What are the advantages of registering as blind?
How can the sighted be most helpful to those who no longer see as well as they used to? In the studio are Sir John Wilson , Director of the Royal
Commonwealth Fund for the Blind, and social worker Margaret Ford co-author of In Touch, the BBC's handbook for the blind. Sue MacGregor is in the Chair. Produced by the Woman's Hour unit
