Watch our "Conversations between..." series
To challenge what people think they know about sight loss, we have filmed a series of relaxed, on the sofa, conversations with some fascinating guests.
As part of RNIB’s “See the person, not the sight loss” campaign, we explore a new theme in each video as a guest with sight loss and a sighted guest chat about anything and everything, from everyday living experiences to the reality of travelling or playing sport with sight loss. Through these conversations, our guests explore some myths about sight loss and let people know how best to help, as well as how everyone sees differently.
They offer advice and tips on what we can all do to build a better world for blind and partially sighted people.
