Making a Difference Through Early Intervention
Welcome to Opticall’s specialised training programme designed specifically for care professionals working with elderly residents. This resource gives your team essential knowledge and practical skills to support residents’ eye health with confidence and compassion.
Why Eye Health Matters in Care Settings
The Visual Wellbeing Connection
Over 50% of people aged 75 and older experience some form of sight loss, significantly impacting their independence, safety and emotional wellbeing. As care professionals, you’re uniquely positioned to notice subtle changes in residents’ behaviour that may indicate vision difficulties.
Your Role in Early Detection
Your observations can lead to timely intervention, preventing further deterioration and preserving quality of life. This training equips you with the tools to recognise potential issues before they progress and impact residents’ daily experiences.
