Visual impairment
The Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) website has a Sight Loss Data Tool that provides information about sight impaired and severely sight impaired people and those at risk of sight loss at a local level throughout the UK. It collates a wide range of publicly available datasets and allows users to view local area data in a report or as data tables.
